Shhh... WI is Wisconsin, but we're trying to keep this one on the down-low. The local media gets a little testy when their Senator spends a couple days out of the state, so we're trying not to point out to the Globe that Senator Kerry actually crossed state lines to help save our country (which includes Massachusetts, as well as several other states). Funny, I didn't see a whole lot of coverage of his recent stops across MA. Here they are in case you missed them.

To be fair, the local media in the towns and cities across MA did a pretty good job of covering the Senator's visits, but the Boston papers, well, not so much. I guess absence really does make the heart grow fonder, though, and it's kinda sweet that they miss him when he's gone, so I expect they'll all have full news crews to greet the Senator in Lowell this Saturday when he and Nikki Tsongas work to GOTV with Mass Dems as they again cross state lines to NH (New Hampshire. Shhh...).
Senator Kerry hit the road to rally early voters in Wisconsin yesterday in Milwaukee(video), Madison and Oshkosh (video). The Senator appeared to be having a good time with the crowd, taking a jab at VP nominee/Republican embarrassment Sarah Palin.
"To paraphrase Sarah Palin, 'I can see Canada from here'."
Good one, JK.
At all three stops, Sen. Kerry called on Obama supporters to work for every vote, and recalled 2004, noting about the opposition:
"The most important thing is to make certain that if they're lying about you, everybody knows they are."
Senator Kerry didn't hesitate to point that out on Rachel Maddow's show last night, as he spoke about the 'bankruptcy of the McCain campaign'.

Senator Kerry will be in IA today for five campaign stops before heading home to Massachusetts.
