You should believe my warnings about jumping on the Neumann bandwagon. I've been a Wisconsin-based state & federal government affairs pro for nearly 20 years.
Neumann is neither a GOP insider nor Tea Party outsider.
Wisconsin legislators can't stand him (please note that Neumann's politician endorsements are ALL from out of state).
State GOP leadership can't stand him.
Wisconsin Tea Partiers actively involved in GOP politics can't stand him (The Wisconsin GOP & local Tea Party groups are the most intertwined in the country).
Who does that leave as voting-eligible Wisconsin Neumann supporters?
1) Tea party outsiders who are new to politics.
2) Casual GOP and independent voters who recognize his name and prefer him to Thompson.
That's not normally a winning coalition. For that reason, if Neumann somehow survives the primary with a 30% plurality, he will have just a tepid party unification for the general election. I fear he would be too weak to beat Baldwin - weaker than if any of the other 3 candidates prevail in the primary.
You have me mixed up with someone else.
I never had anything to do with those fantasies.
It seems a lot of posters want to tell me what to do, and what I have done even if it isn’t true.
