WHAT DID CABANA BOY KNOW AND WHEN DID HE KNOW IT?:

The son of first-term U.S. Rep. Gwen Moore is among five Democratic activists charged with vandalizing some Republican vehicles meant to be used on Election Day.Sowande Omokunde, as well as the son of former acting Mayor Marvin Pratt and three others are each charged with a felony count of criminal damage to property.
The five are accused of cutting the tires on some 20 vans and cars parked in a lot adjacent to a Bush campaign staging office.
Republicans discovered the vandalism before the polls opened Nov. 2.

In the year of Watergate, Cabana Boy, partially as a result of this brilliant action, became the only Democrat to lose a race for an open House seat in 1974, the year of Watergate.

A Journal Sentinel review of city computer records indicates that 269,212 people are recorded as voting, while 277,535 votes were counted. That suggests the gap is closer to 8,300.
And pay attention to Racine, too.
