History will tell whether Karl Rove is right or Mark Block is right. -- Wisconsinite Mark Block, Herman Cain's campaign manager, in Roll Call.

Did I mention that Block was once banned from doing any political work in Wisconsin?

The morning scoop from Politico:

SNEAK PEEK - ROMNEY NAMES WISCONSIN CO-CHAIR: Romney will announce today that former state Sen. Ted Kanavas will co-chair his Wisconsin campaign. The coming statement from Kanavas stresses that Romney is "the best candidate to beat President Obama in Wisconsin." The flurry of Romney announcements from outside the early states highlights his head start in organizing for what could be an extended nomination battle.

Well, that should cinch Wisconsin.  Ted Kanavas.  Wow! 

Will anyone else even bother to compete in our primary now?
