Former Wisconsin Gov. Tommy Thompson, who is said to be edging closer toward a race against Sen. Russ Feingold, leads the Democratic incumbent in a match-up by 45 percent to 33 percent with 14 percent preferring an independent or third party candidate and 7 percent undecided, according to a St. Norbert College Survey Center poll conducted March 23-31.
The conservative Weekly Standard reported in late March that Thompson "has spent the past several weeks taking the steps any candidate must take in order to run for office -- he's evaluating staff, he's talking to fundraisers, and he's separating himself from his business interests."
Thompson has said chances of him getting into the race are "50-50" and that he would decide before the state's GOP convention, which is May 20.

Correction: almost 4 million.
Don’t know if he would want to do it. If he won, he would leave town and miss ice fishing season.
“Feingold is one of the poorest members of the Senate.”
THREE divorces and no free-marketable skills will do that to a guy, LOL! I think his net worth has been listed as under $100K. *Supposedly* that means he’s not as *corrupt* as the other Washington TOOLS. Whatever. *Rolleyes*
During ODS, I had to go to his office to ask for a LOUSY $30K to assist state military families that were left behind when the Wiscosnin Air & Army National Guard (Navy & Marine Reserves, too) were mobilized.
It was like pulling freakin’ TEETH. There is no love lost between me and this guy. He is a Socialist.
If he wants to run, he’d best git ‘er done.
I seem to recall waiting for another Thompson to enter a race a few years ago....
