The question is: why was he trying to raise money for Steve Kagen and Julie Lassa in Milwaukee? They are candidates from other parts of the state. Would his turnout have been even worse in their home districts?
The very image of his aides scurrying around The Wisconsin Club dragging members out of the bar and staffers out of their offices to attend this fundraiser tickles my funny bone.
They raise funds where the $ is. Theoretically, a major city like Milwaukee would have enough deep pocket Dems to raise funds for Congressthings from other parts of the state.
