"Tim Michels needs to go for a local office IMO."

Actually I think Michels would be good because:

1) He can self finance
2) Although he lost his only race, he was all by himself against an entrenched incumbent in a strong GOP area, this time he'll have the full support of the local and national GOP political machine.
3) Because of this local and National party support, he can hire the best advisers, so his performance should be better than original shot at office.
4) He's a veteran, which will help him highlight Feingold's anti-military voting record.

What do you think DJ?

A self-financing candidate is always a plus, though we need someone like that to run against Kohl a tad more than Feingold.
