I’ve already voted absentee for Fitzgerald, a true conservative.
Tommy is too old, and was a big spender, and we need someone who can hold the sea for more than one term.
Hovde is an unknown, he strikes me as a Johnson wannabee, he doesn’t live in WI.
Neumann, I will never forgive him for his nasty campaign against Walker during the primary for governor.
I agree with all you said, except that I’ve met Hovde and I trust him. I would have loved to have voted for Fitzgerald, except I have serious reservations about his ability to raise the funds to win in the General. I heard an ad on the radio from Fitzgerald today on my way home from work, and I said to my husband that Fitzgerald should have run that ad 6 months ago. He agreed.
I’ll go a little further on Tommy. He was just horrid at our Lincoln Day Brunch. Angry. Loud. Yelled at us. All of the candidates were there, and Hovde was the best. He also sat at my table, and we found him to be very personable. But, even there, Fitzgerald gave the best speech. Fitz commented on being the only candidate who had received death threats. That really set Tommy off who went on a rant about how he had received death threats 20 years ago.
I’m voting for Fitz. For all the reasons you stated.
Tommy-too old
Newman-perennial candidate, what’s the next office he’ll run for?
Hovde- can’t fill Johnson’s shoes, carpetbagger.
Fitz - proven conservative
