In my mind he is not much better than Walker. I don't know if he could even rally Democrats to his campaign.

(3,577 posts)His name has been mentioned but he says he will run for reelection to Congress instead. He's another uninspiring candidate, the kind we do NOT need for governor. I'm hoping for Kathleen Vinehout.

(2,284 posts)One reason is money. For some reason the Koch brothers have taken WI under their wing and have used us as guinea pigs. At each election, for SS Court judge, governor, State legislators, they pour money to their candidates. A few weeks before any election they flood the airwaves with negative ads against any Democrat. Unfortunately, WI have a large population of poorly educated people.
WI used to have well educated people until fairly recently. Now they cling to their "god, guns and gay prejudices".

(28,809 posts)Democratic leaders have no charisma. We need someone who shouts from the roof I am a liberal and am proud of it.. Not a progressive... a liberal. We stand for liberal love, equality, honest, humor, intelligence, education, government, law, the liberal application of the Constitution. We will readily conserve war, the military industrial complex, amendments to the Constitution, the Constitution itself, Democracy, the power of Wall Street. Someone who not only stands up but can withstand. Withstand the dirty politics in Wisconsin.

Tom Barrett fine man.. Mary Burke DINO now I hear they want Vinehout to run for Gov.. Charisma. 0
It can be done. Bernie showed us. Elizabeth Warren shows us that it is possible to do in your face politics with grace.
I know plenty of native Wisconsinites who had terrific public educations. We (Liberals) have guns. We will stand against anyone trying to take our guns. But the fact is NOBODY is taking anyone's guns. We need our politicians to shout it louder than they have.
Anyone who thinks there are not publicly well educated hateful conservatives in Wisconsin do so at their own risk.
