A sign of things to come on the national scale... the GOP is screwing up the PR/perception war.

If incumbents getting reelected is a sign of things to come in 2006, then we have our work cut out for us.

Rep. Mark Green seems to be our best candidate here. I wish Scott Walker would stay put for the time being and continued to clean up Milwaukee County politics.

Doyle has turned out to be just another Donkey Party hack. He is even against id voter cards. No screwball lib idea is beyond him.

Is Doyle a good guy?
Sure! For a corrupt dimocrat* who pays people in Alzheimer's homes to vote for him; for a little Richard Daley wanna-be that is bought and paid for by the teachers' unions, the Indian gaming tribes ALL OVER THE COUNTRY, the trial lawyers, and anyone else that throws money at him; and walks the party line so strictly that he toyed with the idea of trying out for the part of "The Contrary" in "Little Big Man," he's a GREAT GUY!

I had to ask. Just because a person is a democrat doesn't mean that they aren't a good enough politician.
Here in Las Vegas dem Oscar Goodman is the mayor. While I don't agree with him 100%, on most of the issues that matter (actually running a city like LV) he is fine. I'd vote for him over a GOP nominee unless the GOP nominee was genuinely outstanding.

"Rep. Mark Green seems to be our best candidate here. I wish Scott Walker would stay put for the time being and continued to clean up Milwaukee County politics."
If Tommy Thompson won't run against Senator Kohl, then maybe Scott Walker can switch to the Senate race. Actually, I think Congressman Green for the Senate and Walker for Governor would be a better ticket for us, since Green has a record on federal issues and Walker already has executive experience, but since the gubernatorial race is more easily winnable than the Senate race I can see why both Green and Walker prefer to run for Governor.
This sentence from the article is one that we should keep in mind when we discuss who would be the strongest Democrat candidate:
"Wisconsin Democrats are evenly divided as to whether they would prefer Senator Russ Feingold or Senator Hillary Clinton as their party's Presidential nominee in 2008. Unaffiliated voters in the state prefer Feingold by a 2-to-1 margin."
Russ Feingold is an ultraliberal, but he is universally viewed as a principled one, which has made him very appealing to independents and even some Republicans. I think Feingold would be a very strong general-election candidate for the Democrats, since he would energize the liberal base while getting votes from cultural conservatives due to his economic populism and "reform" schtick. And being from Wisconsin, Feingold could hold Wisconsin and Minnesota while getting back Iowa, while being one of the Democrats' best bets in blue-collar Michigan, Ohio and Pennsylvania. Frankly, I'm concerned about a Feingold presidential candidacy in 2008, which is one of the reasons why I support Minnesota Governor Tim Pawlenty for the GOP nomination---only Pawlenty can beat Feingold in Minnesota and Pawlenty could beat him in blue-collar areas.

Doyle's approval ratings are pretty good, but re-election numbers of 45-48% are nothing to brag about. But it's early...

A few liberals I've talked to are backing Feingold for President. The problem is that once he has to take his message nationwide, he's going to scare the straights. He's a Deaniac without the screaming.

Either of these senarios would be great. I wish, at the very least, that Thompson would announce one way or the other ASAP.

Maybe, maybe not. I doubt Dean would have been elected to the Senate three times in Wisconsin. And had Dean not been such a freak, you'd better believe it that he would have run stronger than Kerry in the general election.
Kerry got 48% nationwide despite being so un-populist that he barely broke 50% in Kanjorski's or Murtha's CDs (in which Bush had gotten 43% in 2000). A populist like Feingold could do much better without necessarily losing ground in the close-in suburbs. While I hope the GOP will make clear to all voters just how liberal Feingold is and how that would affect issue after issue, you know that the media will be running interference for Feingold. I think he'd be a very strong general-election candidate, and would prefer that he gets eaten up by the Clinton machine.

I just can't imagine with his positions that he could end up winning a Presidential election. He's every inch as leftist as Kerry. The problem for Feingold is that the '08 'Rat contest could be a bloodbath, and if he manages to emerge, he's going to have trouble uniting the party (although not necessarily an impossibility). Of course, we're not in a much better position on our side, either. None of us know at this point who is going to be the GOP nominee. At this point 2 years before the '00 elections, it was pretty much obvious that Dubya would get the GOP nod (or at least it was to me, especially after his smashing reelection victory). Of course, both of us know that if McCain or Giuliani get the nomination, the 'Rats can start measuring the curtains in the Oval Office.
