10:11 AM: Dane Co. political couple split on Dem choice Tuesday
One Dane Co. political couple is faced with the same tough choice many Dem families are debating in advance of Tuesday's primary.
Wayne Bigelow, chair of the Dane Co. Democratic Party, is backing Barack Obama, while his wife Carol Brooks, a former Dane Co. board member, is backing Hillary Clinton.
Bigelow and Brooks were at the Wisconsin Democratic Party dinner in Milwaukee on Saturday night, and weren't moved to switch their choices.
Bigelow noted the candidates' "very different styles" but said Obama was more inspirational.
"Both candidates are wonderful. McCain can't compete," Brooks said. "Both have many of the same ideas. I just think she'd be ready to go from Day 1."
