    SUN PRAIRIE, WI (AP) -- Republican Mark Green shifted his campaign for the governor's office into high gear on Monday, releasing an Internet-only ad and unveiling his budget plan at the first of what he promised to be a 100-stop tour across the state between now and Election Day. In his ad, Green said if elected he would lower the tax burden or he would not run again. Green, who is trying to stop Gov. Jim Doyle from becoming the first Democrat re-elected governor in 32 years, accused the incumbent of mismanaging the state's finances which has resulted in a...

    President George W. Bush will be the main attraction at a $1,000-a-plate fundraiser for Republican gubernatorial candidate U.S. Rep. Mark Green next week. Green's campaign confirmed today that Bush will head the Milwaukee event on Tuesday. Republicans are hoping that the event will raise about $1 million for Green's effort to unseat Democratic Gov. Jim Doyle. Doyle leads Green in fundraising by almost three-to-one, while most polls show the two candidates in a tight race.Although Bush narrowly lost Wisconsin in the 2004 election, recent polls show his popularity lagging among state residents. The conservative Wisconsin Policy Research Institute last month...

    APPLETON, WI (AP) -- Gov. Jim Doyle is the most vulnerable Democratic governor up for re-election this fall, Republican National Committee Chairman Ken Mehlman said Friday as he sought to energize GOP activists. "I think if you look around the country, I can't think of a single state where there's a greater likelihood that a Democratic governor will be replaced by a Republican governor," Mehlman told reporters as the state Republican convention got underway in Appleton. Mehlman and other Republican leaders said they would use the weekend convention to make the case that U.S. Rep. Mark Green, R-Green Bay, should...

    A new poll shows Democratic Gov. Jim Doyle locked in a tight race with Republican challenger U.S. Rep. Mark Green. But the poll shows former Republican Gov. Tommy Thompson - who has reportedly been considering running for his old job - leading Doyle by nearly a two-to-one margin. The poll by Strategic Vision, an Atlanta-based polling firm with Republican ties, shows Thompson leading Doyle 58 percent to 30 percent. Thompson, the state's longest-serving and most popular governor, leads Green in a potential Republican primary match-up by better than a three-to-one margin: 69 percent to 20 percent. Doyle leads Green by...

    Associated Press NEW YORK - Democrat Mark Green formally launched his campaign for attorney general on Wednesday, saying his career as a consumer advocate and public interest lawyer in New York and Washington made him the candidate best suited to succeed Eliot Spitzer. “New York state needs a people's lawyer in more than name alone,” Green said in a park outside the state Supreme Court building in Manhattan, pledging to battle corporate excess and business corruption in the Spitzer mold. Spitzer, who is running for governor, is well known for his high-profile investigations of Wall Street firms, mutual funds and...

    Since entering the race for attorney general a year ago, Denise O'Donnell has labored to raise her profile in a campaign whose coverage has been largely fixated on two other Democratic candidates, Andrew M. Cuomo and Mark Green. But the political events of the last few days may have provided a boost to the candidacy of Ms. O'Donnell, a Buffalo resident who is the former United States attorney for the Western District of New York. Last week, Attorney General Eliot Spitzer selected David A. Paterson, a state senator from Harlem, to be his running mate in the 2006 governor's race....

    I've criticized Chris Matthews several times this week, so it's only fair that I give him credit for doing the right thing tonight when liberal Mark Green went off on how corrupt the Bush administration is and started ticking off indictments: MATTHEWS: Can you name a conviction, Mark? GREEN: Hold it, hold it. What I said was — MATTHEWS: Can you name a conviction? GREEN: One second. What I said was that six people — three people have been indicted — by the way Chris, if you and I have been indicted, it doesn't mean we're guilty, but we wouldn't...

    WOW! [John Podhoretz] Just now, Chris Matthews on "Hardball" went after New York leftist Mark Green for calling this a "corrupt" administration. To which Matthews shot back, "Any convictions? Can you name one conviction? One person in this administration who has been convicted of a crime?" To which Green mentions the indictments of DeLay and Jack Abramoff. "They don't work for the administration," says Matthews. "Can you name a single instance of proven corruption?" Green, as is his wont, hemmed and hawed and licked his lips. Ben Ginsburg, the Republican on the other side, just stayed silent. Props to Chris....

    Rebuilding is 'truly remarkable' Following his two-day trip to Iraq, Rep. Mark Green said he saw signs of improvement in the war-torn and terrorist-plagued country. "From Baghdad to Fallujah, from our own troops to Iraq's new security forces, signs of progress abound," said Green, R-Green Bay, who has declared his candidacy for the 2006 Republican nomination for Wisconsin governor. "Eighteen months ago I had the honor of being one of the first members of Congress to visit Iraq after its liberation," Green said at a press conference in Green Bay. "It was clear then just how monumental the rebuilding task...

    A group of between 30 and 35 protesters stood outside Rep. Mark Green's Green Bay office Tuesday calling for him to ask for the impeachment of President Bush. The rally was linked to recent reports in British newspapers on a 2002 meeting that, according to an intelligence brief printed in the newspapers, showed that "intelligence and facts were being fixed around the policy" of removing Saddam Hussein in Iraq. The protesters say that the documents showed Bush lied to the public to start war in Iraq. Four of the demonstrators went into Green's office and met with a staff member...

    C-Span2 televised a series of panel conferences from authors on the right and the left who have recently written books on President Bush. The conservative conferences were interesting, but devoid, I thought, of anything approaching hysteria about the left's unyielding assaults on the president. They were just discussions from sober panelists, addressing various aspects of media bias and the like. But the liberal panel -- and I only watched parts of it -- featured New York Times Columnist Paul Krugman, New York liberal Mark Green, Sidney Blumenthal, and various others. I just want to call your attention to two comments,...

    June 11, 2004 2001 Mark Green Campaign Draws Prosecutor's AttentionBy JONATHAN P. HICKS he Brooklyn district attorney's office is investigating whether the 2001 mayoral campaign of Mark Green paid for a set of campaign fliers without properly reporting the expenditure, a law enforcement official said yesterday. The fliers and their origin became a major source of contention during that year's Democratic mayoral primary.Specifically, the investigation is looking into whether the Thurgood Marshall Democratic Club, a political organization in Brooklyn that is controlled by Assemblyman Clarence Norman Jr., the Brooklyn Democratic Party chairman, paid for the fliers. The club was paid...

    Brooklyn District Attorney Charles Hynes will seek criminal charges against Mark Green's mayoral campaign, the Daily News has learned. Prosecutors will ask a grand jury to indict the campaign for failing to report payments made for racially charged flyers in the closing days of Green's bitter 2001 primary fight with Fernando Ferrer, law enforcement sources said. "They defrauded the voters of Kings County by hiding the fact that they were behind the racist literature," a source close to the investigation said. The money was part of a controversial $245,000 contribution the Green camp made to the political club run by...

    ASHWAUBENON, Wis. - Army Sgt. Nicole Delvaux still limps from shrapnel wounds suffered in Iraq, but she said Thursday it was important to her to attend a rally for President Bush. "I want people to know that he is getting support from the people who are over there and recently came back," the recent Purple Heart winner said after a down pour rain sent about 100 people at the rally scurrying for cover. Wisconsin U.S. Rep. Mark Green organized the Republican rally at the Brown County Veterans Memorial near where Democratic President candidate John Kerry planned his own rally later...

    Eric Alterman and Mark Green, The Book on Bush: How George W. (Mis)leads America  (New York: Viking, 2004). George Bush drives the Left crazy. They hate the way he speaks. They hate his cowboy image. They hate his religious convictions. And they hate his moral clarity (anyone who can tell the difference between good and evil is, according to the Left, ignorant).  The Left hates Bush so much that they have now produced dozens of anti-Bush books, from David Corn’s The Lies of George W. Bush to Paul Krugman’s The Great Unraveling. One of the latest efforts is Eric Alterman’s...
