I will cross over and specifically vote for Baldwin in the primary. If she is their Party’s standard bearer we will have no trouble picking up that seat. Not only is Baldwin an extreme Madison liberal, she has benn in Congress for about a dozen years and has done absolutely nothing. Bring it.
I think time has passed him by...I don't think he runs..
That’s an interesting graph.
BUMP
“But as Poole and Rosenthal have shown, it’s very much the direction of things in American politics — two parties moving further apart.”
Not that there’s anything wrong with that!
I think Tommy wanted to feel that sensation of love and adoration. I think he is seeing that that love and adoration has sort of evaporated and that he would have a bruising primary. To add to that, Neuman is a brass-knuckles fighter and he will certainly rough-up Thompson. I think Tommy ultimately decides to stay home and enjoy life.
Ken- Tommy Thompson is running. He was on Mark Belling’s show last week and basically in full campaign mode, talking about why he was the best candidate and also a true conservative based on his tax cutting history and leadership of school choice and welfare reform. The formal announcement hasn’t come yet, but he is in the race.
It doesn’t mention it in the story, but Neumann ran against Russ Feingold in the late ‘90s. I remember watching them debate on TV. Neumann was good, but a little stiff. He just didn’t look comfortable.
Isn’t Baldwin a Lesbian?
She’s a total lizard.
Not that there’s anything wrong with that!
The leftists on the comment thread at the source say "Look! The parties used to be closer together! Now one of them has changed, the Republicans!"
As if that's a bad thing.
Yes, for some time there were many RINOs who went along with the collectivism that is bankrupting us. Now that is ending.
Good!
I don’t think Tommy will run, either. We’re all tired of him, LOL!
He hasn’t shown up on local, conservative WIBA AM1310, yet. In the past, he was all over that station from the minute he even thought about running for anything.
“...it’s very much the direction of things in American politics — two parties moving further apart.”
The people have already “moved apart” - they have divided, as they always have been, along the lines of federalist vs. anti-federalist, unlimited power of the State vs. limited power, centralized Government vs local control, Rights of the Collective vs. Rights of the individual.
This shift in power has been accomplished by misusing the Judiciary, entrenched legislative and corporate interests, and bureaucratic administrative authority, without using the Constitutional Amendment process, use of which would have aired-out and resolved the true nature of the power-grab.
So, the moving apart of the political parties only reflects the unresolved differences of two factions of the people who just fundamentally disagree about the role and usefulness of their federal government.
Aren't lizards multi-metro-trans-bi-sexual?
Don't insult LIZARDS!! :-)
If you want a leftist/lesbian/Madison nut, Tammy’s your woman er I mean womyn. She epitomizes everything bad about Madison....and Madison is actually a very nice place to visit. If you don’t mind being constantly hit over the head with lib/leftist propaganda.

Living here, you can tune it out for only so long. The tide is turning, even in ‘The People’s Republik of Madistan.’ :)
