Kohl is up. His claim to fame is he isn't the dumbest member in the Senate. There's too much competition for that title!

Not that it puts coherent thought functions in your brain, Herb Kohl was elected to the Senate in 1988 and re-elected to a third six-year term in 2000. Kohl was born and raised in Milwaukee, where he attended public school. He earned his bachelor's degree from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 1956 and a master's degree in business administration from Harvard University in 1958. Kohl served in the Army Reserve from 1958 to 1964.

Before coming to the Senate, Kohl helped build his family-owned business, Kohl's grocery and department stores. He served as President from 1970 through the sale of the corporation in 1979. In 1985 he bought the Milwaukee Bucks to ensure the basketball team remained in Milwaukee and is recognized as an avid sportsman. ">but Kohl is a gazillionaire .. every heard of Kohl's department stores?

From Wikipedia - whose content I do not use as the be all/end all source of reliably factual data.

"Before his election to the Senate, Kohl helped build his family-owned business, Kohl's grocery and department stores. He served as President from 1970 through the sale of the corporation in 1979. In 1985 he bought the Milwaukee Bucks NBA team to ensure the basketball team remained in Milwaukee and is recognized as an avid sportsman.

Kohl is one of the nation's wealthiest politicians. Fairly conservative estimates put his wealth at $111 million, while he could be worth more than $250 million. This has inspired his use of the catchphrase "Nobody's Senator but yours" on campaign commercials, implying that he is immune to bribery, whereas other Senators may not be."

I will give him 2 cents to get the hell out of Washington and Wisconsin and move to where he lives anyway in Colorado. I read a long time ago that he usually phones it in from Colorado. He should be up for re-election this year and maybe that is why he is showing his face again and not phoning it in, he really seems to be useless,
