This is a class blog for the students of POLSCI 426: Congressional Politics at the University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee.
You will probably want a donut after you read this
Now this is the kind of campaign investigation that the American people have been clamoring for. I don't really have anything smart to say about it, just thought it was an interesting story about spending that if nothing else highlights the (notsomuch now I guess) hidden costs of running such a large scale campaign. And it contains a concise political insight from a Dunkin' Donuts assistant manager.

Why so few D&D's in Milwaukee? Why so few posts about Congress on the blog?
1) Because Miguel Cabrera doesn't play for the Brewers, and 2) because a lot of more of the news is presidential? Disregard if those were rhetorical questions. I think the same logic applies to congressional campaigns too though on a smaller scale, if people contribute $25 to their local congressman's re-election campaign they probably don't expect to be buying donuts.
