He saw Feingold go down and he knows he is next. I don’t think it will take much with the right canidate. Maybe he will just retire rather than get beat - that would be even better!

Doesn’t Kohl have a dry goods/department store to run back there in WI? Voters need to help him get home to mind the store.

Herb Kohl knows that all of us who voted Feingold out of office, are going after him next.

You’re toast, Herb!

It’s a whole new animal here in WI, and it’s angry at liberals who have ruined our state.

Wisconsin Conservative Politics Ping List Ping!

Looks like our 'Confirmed Bachelor' Senator is a little shook up after Black Tuesday, LOL!

You mean our Senator-Elect, the Honorable Ron Johnson?

I just like to see it in print! :)

Yes, there are (unfounded) rumors going around that he’s going to retire after this term and Feingold will run for his seat. Personally, I’m not buying it.

How many of these will be union jobs?

In Wisconsin - probably all of them and then 500 more for the voter rolls...

*snort!* That’s what I’m afraid of. Love the jobs, hate the unions.

Feingold’s concession speech closing statement was all I needed to know that he’ll be running again after Kohl retires. He was not happy and he was defiant.

Should be fun :)

I would venture to guess that he’d be facing Sean Duffy by then.

Do you think Kohl runs again, or retires? Who’s the likely GOP condidate? I’ve heard talk about Ryan..but I’d like see him stay in the House. He can do a lot of good on the budget committee..Also..lots of talk about Cantor runnign for the Senate in 2012, so Ryan could move up to #2..I can see him as Speaker some day..

Kohl might prefer to retire rather than lose his next (and last) election. That old guy should go home and spend some of his money while he can.

The dems liked Feingold a lot more than Kohl, since Feingold is so far left. It doesn’t bode well for Kohl that the darling lefty Feingold had a stunning defeat. I bet old Russ is still steaming mad about it!

I have no idea who would run against Kohl or another dem. Maybe another great grassroots candidate like Ron Johnson will step forward. We were very lucky Ron was willing to leave his business to help our country.

Paul Ryan certainly has the right stuff to deal with liberals. Hard to say how far he can go. He’s been asked to run for POTUS, but he says no since he has a young family.

The family sold Kohl's Department Stores a long time ago.

I’m just not sure... but a campaign against Duffy would be awesome!

LCS may be a major win for a Wisconsin shipyard but it’s a major disaster for the US Navy and the taxpayers.

Well, the Republicans have two years to fix the election process in Wisconsin. They should do away with same day registration and voting and add a photo ID component. I’d also like to see a fingerprint on all provisional ballots. That should keep the future fraud down.

Didn’t LCS just flunk IOT&E?

Not effective, not sustainable, not suitable...

Agreed! I like the fingerprint component. Nobody is talking about that.

I have no opinion on the LCS. I just thought that it was interesting on how Senator Silent, Senator Do-Nothing, Herb Kohl is suddenly stepping into the spotlight after Russ Feingold was kicked out on his butt last Tuesday.
