Not sure if the two GOPers are strong candidates or not. I’ll keep my eyes peeled. If Tommy Thompson can be persuaded to run, he’d take the seat. Paging Michael Steele . . .
Thompson would definitely be better than Feingold. The question is whether he’s a reliable conservative, and if not, then you run into the question of whether you’d prefer a Rino over a Feingold.
Never really heard of either one of them. In 2004, the WI GOP ran a guy who owned a politically connected road construction company because he had some money to spend.
The two strongest candidates are running for governor.
There just aren’t that many republicans with strong, statewide name recognition.
