Harnessing the internet to win the bratwurst election, or "Two brats in every pot!"
During Obama's run, I followed events closely on the internet and greatly enjoyed communicating with TPM's community. Inspired by Obama's creative use of the internet, I'll try to swing my election through the cyber crowd.
Recently, my buddy submitted my recipe for fajita brats to a Johnsonville Brats contest. We were one of 10 semi-finalists to receive two Green Bay Packers game tickets and to participate in pre-game judging. We have made the finals and the winner is decided by internet vote.
Take a moment, please, and visit this page:

Vote for the Fajita Brats (lower left recipe) by clicking the radio button and clicking the Save Vote button. You can zoom in to read the recipe. In the video photo, my buddy Jeff is wearing the #66 Nitsche jersey and I'm standing to his left. We're standing on Johnsonville's semi-truck grill truck outside Lambeau Field. Sorta like standing outside the Pearly Gates.
I've never begged for recommendations before, but I now realize that one tosses his pride out the window during an election. Give me a rec and take a moment to vote. In these troubled economic times, I promise "Two Brats in Every Pot!"
I really ain't too partial to peppers, red or green. And I gotta' admit those other two recipes looked pretty good. In fact, the middle recipe nearly sent me to the store to get the fixins.
Brats are my comfort food.
But Nitschke's my hero for all time.
And I never knew anyone before who was a finalist in a bratwurst recipe contest.
So you got my vote. And I'll try to remember to vote again tomorow.
