A brief note for journalists covering the Wisconsin primaries

Posted on Tue, 02/19/2008 - 2:31pm by Eva Lam

I can't help but notice that bloggers and journalists, possibly those who were foolish enough to go on assignment to Wisconsin without their long underwear, keep harping on how cold it is. See, e.g., Real Clear Politics:

Wisconsin -- cold, cold, cold. Right now, it's 1 degree F in Madison. One. But, hey, at least it's sunny!

On behalf of the cheeseheads: WE KNOW. THIS IS NOT UNUSUAL. WISCONSIN IS COLD. Now shut up and cover the election.

Of course, twelve hours from now they'll all be packed up and headed to Texas, where they'll probably deliver the amazing revelation that lots of Texans are fairly enamored of Texas. Brilliant.
