It’s over. Thompson wins. Can he beat Baldwin?
Last poll I saw had Thompson trailing Baldwin. Bad news. Though he had been ahead until recently. Don’t know why he began dropping. In any case even if he is not a great conservative let us hope he wins because it is highly unlikely the GOP can take a majority without gaining this seat. Maybe if Sen Brown wins and Mack knocks off Nelson in FL they can still get to 51 without WI but in any case it is going to be very tough.
Yes, in fact Thompson may out-run Romney and help Romney carry WI.
Thompson has tremendous crossover appeal.
The winner will quickly consolidate the Republican vote and jump ahead of Baldwin. How much ahead? In 2010, the Republican scored a 5 point victory. There are reasons to argue that the margin can will be higher or lower, but I’m thinking 5 points is a good starting point.
