Barack Obama’s campaign is in a tough fight for Wisconsin’s 10 Electoral Votes.  Throughout the last few months, the Wisconsin for Obama campaign has been attacking John McCain with its tough TV and Radio Ads, spending hundreds of thousands of dollars for a ground game of campaign headquarters and grassroots programs and of course, throwing its weight of support toward increasing Wisconsin voter fraud.

So what does the man who runs this Wisconsin operation do when he’s confronted with a typical utility bill?

Wisconsin State Director of the Obama Campaign, Dan Kanninen just won’t pay it.

Kanninen was a former staffer for a very liberal State Senator Bob Jauch and campaign staffer for Governor Jim Doyle.  While most folks across Wisconsin are at least trying to support a family, maintain a family business, or just simply trying to keep the lights on, the Obama campaign picked a state director who just doesnt like to pay the bills.  In 2003, Kanninen failed to pay nearly $620 to Madison Gas & Electric for utilities at his $700 per month University Ave high rise apartment in Madison.  No worries, his bill was garnished from his cushy state job-chief of staff salary.

But what does this all mean?  The leader of Obama’s Wisconsin Campaign is irresponsible.  Everyone has missed a payment before but when a man who’s running a statewide campaign for a Presidential Candidate has a history of not paying, Kanninen is self promoter of what he wants Wisconsin to be.  Ultimately, he’s missing the detail and in Wisconsin politics, everything is in the details.
