So let's see who's left: Waukesha County Executive Daniel Finley, businessman Tim Michels, and state Sen. Robert Welch, R-Redgranite, all mentioned in the article. Plus radio magnate David Magnum.

In this capacity, he serves as the County's Chief Executive Officer, administering 1300 employees with an annual budget of more than $195 million. He is also an adjunct lecturer in Political Science at Carroll College. Previously, Finley served on the Waukesha County Board of Supervisors from 1984-1991, leading as Chairman from 1988- 1991. Prior to his election in Waukesha County he worked as the Director of Development at Carroll College and as the Assistant Executive Director of the Wisconsin Chapter of the Leukemia Society.
Finley, a Waukesha native, graduated from Waukesha South High School in 1976. In 1980, he earned a Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in Economics and Urban Geography and was the recipient of the 4-year Evans Scholarship.

Why not Scott McCallum himself? His race with Doyle was pretty close, wasn't it?

WI Senate race *ping*
I have to admit I'm a bit underwhelmed, also, by the choices. I sorta liked Farrow, who was a Conservative from what I understand, but I can also understand that being almost 70, she doesn't want to spend her golden years campaigning for what will surely be a difficult race. I'm not sure Welch is a good idea, he lost by 17% to Kohl in the excellent '94 GOP year. Finley looks OK, but as Dan pointed out, that's a big jump. But that "magic" candidate just isn't there, it seems. I dunno, it seems like the state hasn't had a really "great" Senator since McCarthy died in '57... :-P
To Coop: Hope this was OK to ping you on, since it met your criteria for a major candidate in a major race. :-)
