Have you heard the news?
Republican Assembly Speaker Jeff Fitzgerald of Horicon is running for the U.S. Senate seat currently held by Democratic Sen. Herb Kohl.
No seriously, he is.
Assembly Speaker Jeff Fitzgerald, R-Horicon, confirmed his decision to run Monday during an interview with the Wausau Daily Herald editorial board. His comments followed an interview he gave Friday with Milwaukee’s WTMJ-AM radio in which he said he was “99 percent” sure he would run. Fitzgerald said regulations prevented him from making the announcement on the radio before he had formed an election committee.
Fitzgerald’s announcement of his candidacy for the U.S. Senate had to be one of the most underwhelming I’ve ever seen, having gotten absolutely no traction in the media, and I’m betting that despite his standing as a blindly loyal Republican footsoldier, he will not be the Republican nominee for the U.S. Senate in 2012.
