The past week has been a fantastic display of the democratic process: It is great to see people caring and exercising their rights. However, this is hardly the first time something like this has happened in Madison.
Nobody knows Madison better than Paul Soglin. As a student at UW-Madison he helped lead the infamous Vietnam protests. He has served as a city council member, worked in the private sector and as a UW faculty member. Oh yeah, and he's already been the mayor. Twice.
