With his victory in Tuesday's primary, roofing contractor Reid Ribble will be the Republican nominee against Rep. Steve Kagen (D) in the northeastern Wisconsin 8th district this fall.

He defeated state Rep. Roger Roth and former state Rep. Terri McCormick. With 63 percent of precincts reporting, Ribble had 50 percent of the vote to Roth's 29 percent and McCormick's 18 percent.

Here’s another one.

Ouch, a “Roofing Contractor” isn’t any better than a “Used Car Dealer”!

[Robert A Cook PE]

Yeah. The winner here has “republican insider candidate” written all over him, doesn’t he? /sarchasm

If we can get rid of that barking moonbat Kagen, and Foolsgold for that matter, it'll be a good day. I didn't vote for Ribble, but now I'll support him.

"Ouch, a “Roofing Contractor” isn’t any better than a “Used Car Dealer”!"

I wonder if he is one of the 347 roofers that have rung my doorbell in the last two years offering a "hail-damage assessment."

[sbMKE]

Kagan is going to get wiped out. I was up in Green Bay this past weekend and people I know to be very apolitical seethe about him. Kagan is a very arrogant and condescending sort and people and it has gotten personal with the voters.

[Impy]

I wasn’t following this one closely.

Big win for the outsider over the state legislators.
