Margaret Farrow is, at this point, the most likely GOP nominee in Wisconsin. She is a great pro-life conservative and would make an awesome senator. Yes, she's old (68), but she's still going strong! I'd compare her to Senator Jim Bunning, a elderly first-termer who has been a great senator for Kentucky.

Farrow would be a good candidate, but her age is problematic. At best, she might only serve one term. WI is rather notorious for never having elected (until 1998) a woman to federal office. Alas, the "breakthrough" candidate was the leftist lesbian Tammy Baldwin in the Madison House seat. "Moderate" Republican Susan Engeleiter ran against Herb Kohl in '88 when the legendary Bill Proxmire retired and probably would've won had Kohl not spent a billion dollars to buy the seat. Unless we can persuade one of the "young turks" in the delegation to run, we should get behind Farrow. Of course, the 800-pound gorilla in WI would be the best bet, but I don't think Tommy Thompson will jump in (I think it more likely he may want to challenge the current Governor in '06).
