Going to be a juggernaut.
Now THIS is interesting!
La Follette was the only Democrat to win a statewide election in 2010, so the man clearly knows how to win in Wisconsin.
I cannot tell if you are being serious or not.
I think he is serious and I agree.
So glad to hear this news. Kathleen Falk had a weak chance to win at best.
Go Fighting Doug!
LaFollette’s victory in 2010 shows nothing, except that people have a slight inclination to vote for a long term incumbent in an office that does nothing.
Nothing about running for Secretary of State in Wisconsin is at all comparable to running for Governor. You don’t have to have a grasp on policy. You don’t have to have a message. You don’t need to raise much money. You don’t need to be well-known or likable. You don’t need a campaign staff.
Doug La Follette hasn’t had a real job in decades. He’d be a disaster as a candidate.
My comment was based in sarcasm. Doug Lafollette, while a good and decent man, would go up in flames upon re-entry in a recall. Yes, he’s won a state-wide election but for an office that is irrelevant. There’s a reason Mr. Lafollette lost a congressional primary. Nothing’s changed.
