I know our senator, Ron Johnson (feingold’s seat), and a rep. Reid Ribble (Obey’s seat) both from WI, are standing firm. But, these guys are freshmen and from the tea party. I’m sure there are a few others. Ron Johnson sometimes is a guest on the talk shows. He says DC is worse than he expected, and his expectations were already in the toilet. He’s also saying, they need reinforcements. So, we will primary any rino and replace them with real conservatives.
Reid Ribble took Steve Kagan MD’s seat (Green Bay). Kagan was voted out over Obamacare. Even the Dems agree that Ribble looks to be the kind of guy that will become a fixture in the seat. A really good solid guy, a 180 turnaround from Kagan who was a nasty hyper-partisan Obama guy.
Sean Duffy (the reality TV “star”) took Obey’s seat in the Wausau area. Duffy is running a “tea party” office, no question. I’ve met with his legislative director and can assure you of that.
