I’m sure R. Emanuel will come up with someone suitable to do business with Hussein & Co.

I agree with you regarding Ryan. I read that Herb Kohl’s approval ratings are way down, who’s challenging him next year? Is Ryan a possibility?

Another leftist decides rule isn’t as much fun when the serfs begin to get too uppity!

Doyle faces a potential challenge to his law license after it was discovered a week back that his chief legal counsel was not licensed to practice law in the state and by all indications Doyle knew. The added fact that she (the chief legal counsel, since resigned) gave money to the Doyle campaign before her hiring adds additional intrique.

That would be sweet.

He was one of the speakers at my son's battalion sendoff, and I was very impressed with him. He gave the best speech by far.

This is not a good sign when a Rat incumbent governor with a huge war chest in a border state

Wisconsin is not a "border state."

Doyle is so incompetent, even Obama would not appoint him as a Federal Judge or other federal job.

One word: SOTOMAYOR.

I have no idea about that. But there are a lot of good, conservative people in Wisconsin, running for other offices. Jason Punzel is running for state treasurer. He, Walker and current AG JB VanHollen can get Wisconsin back on the right track.

Ryan is a very smart fellow, I’ve heard many political talking heads from both sides praise him. I hope he ends up at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue soon.

I know Doyle would have a very tough race against Scott Walker. Even though he has or attempted to screw everything good in Wisconsin, Milwaukee and Madison still vote for him. I dont picture Doyle giving up ship and going away that easy. Maybe a future czar in the one’s administration.

“What about Congressman Paul Ryan for Governor? He’s a great conservative who could win statewide.”

I like many are still mad at Ryan for the yes vote on tarp.
I think he might win on name recognition, but a great conservative?

Who is is position to win?

Scott Walker is a solid conservative Republican who also happens to be the County Executive of the state's largest (and most liberal) county.

He would be, but I don't want to see a bloody GOP primary. It's bad enough that the state GOP is pushing Mark Neuamann to run. Scott Walker has the executive experience and the inside track. Ryan should take a shot at Feingold's seat next year, though.

Feingold is up, not Kohl.

I backed Tommy in the beginning. I agree too big a spender and big ego. He is over the hill and spent his political capital.
