Nice job fellow cheeseheads. Next task is replacing Johnson.

Any ideas who we can run to help flush the tea party turd?

If possible we should avoid a primary.

Kathleen Vinehout.

My prediction, though, is that the Party Bigshots & Madison Beautiful People will get behind Kathleen Falk & crash & burn with her once again.

But, shit, we've got 4 years to dig up somebody. Ron Kind could maybe do it, although he's far too blue-doggy for me.

2. Agree with JackPine (again). Vinehout would be good. Wish we'd run her against Scooter ...

... in the recall.

I also agree Ron Kind (former really good guy) has become a blue dog. What's up with that?

Primary isn't necessarily a bad thing (sure was in the recall though). Adds to name recognition.

3. I'd take Feingold again, but would like to see him run against Walker in 2014.

I wonder if he would run for Gov if it was a "legitimate" four year election, not a recall. If he won't, we need to get Johnson out and I think Wisconsin realizes how awful and non-representative Johnson is. I hope.

(to be wrong), tell me that Russ is permanently out of electoral politics.
