MILWAUKEE — A Wisconsin businessman who spent millions on a largely self-financed campaign has breezed into a November matchup with incumbent Sen. Russ Feingold. Ron Johnson crushed small-business owner Dave Westlake in Tuesday's Republican primary. Johnson had the state party's backing. Much of his campaign this summer was spent positioning himself against Feingold, the Democrat looking for his fourth term. The pair already have traded a number of TV attack ads. Johnson is the president of Pacur (PAK'-er), an Oshkosh-based plastics company. He has vowed to repeal health care reform and cut government spending. Feingold has touted his record of independence and willingness to vote against the Democratic Party line.

lol...stop it. You're killin' me.....lololol
You don’t hear much about Democrat incumbents losing primaries. I wonder why, guess it’s all about Democrat apathy.
I am sure he is “willing” to, he just never does...
The few times this A-hole voted the right way it was for the WRONG reason.
Johnson giving his victory speech and laying into Feingold already. Already has a unity lunch with the other two defeated R candidates this week.
“We are not going to go down without a knockdown fight...”
“They will say anything to cling to their power...”
“This is a fight for our fundamental future and it is a fight that we must win...”
The Milwaukee Fox affiliate (very lib) just ran a bit with Feingold sitting down and looking into the camera to “set the record straight” on his record as a career politician and to debunk Ron Johnson’s criticism of him as a guy who has never held a job or created one.
“When I interviewed for the job of representing you 18 years ago... then I was re-hired by Wisconsin... people tell me I’ve been doing a good job for Wisconsin”
Same baloney about being a Maverick thrown in ...
What an a—clown.
Does he actually think anyone believes this? He has voted for the Obama agenda 100% of the time!
Would be tremendous boost to win that seat. Sure would help the Repubs to take a majority. I would love to see an upset here in CT and in WV too. I would not write off any of these seats, though DE is going to be tougher after tonight.
Wisconsin and West Virginia are the top two races I’m watching. Strong conservative candidates running in each.
