I first met Mike Tate in 2003.  For a while, the Howard Dean campaign in Wisconsin was almost entirely being run out of my living room, with my wife and me organizing fundraisers, visibility events, MeetUps (remember those?), and whatnot.  But I was an amateur, no matter how many conference…

“The Obama campaign has always been here for us in Wisconsin.” So said Democratic Party of Wisconsin (DPW) Chairman Mike Tate last week.
