Please read this story. The Washington establishment is trying to defeat conservative insurgents.

If Republican Mark Neumann and Democrat Tammy Baldwin win their party nominations for US Senate next year, the choice for Wisconsin voters would be as stark as it gets. Baldwin has the most liberal congressional voting record of any Wisconsin lawmaker in the last 40 years, according to one respected academic rating system.

In March 2003, Neumann took himself out of contention by endorsing a potential GOP candidate (who in May subsequently announced she would not run). However, the conservative Neumann has apparently decided to make a rematch run against the liberal Feingold. He quietly filed his Statement of Candidacy with the FEC on June 18th. If he stays in the race, Neumann would likely face State Senate President Pro Tempore Bob Welch, wealthy businessman Tim Michels, Milwaukee County Supervisor Tim Johnson...
