Over at The Political Environment, James Rowen raises a good question regarding Republican Sen. Ron Johnson’s decision to use campaign funds to pay for the lawsuit he filed attempting to block ObamaCare.
Would he burn campaign dollars on litigation if he were running for re-election?
Ron Johnson to use campaign fund for Obamacare suit
Not that he can’t replenish his war chest with personal funds, or donations, but think about it.
While it might be a bit of wishful thinking that Sen. Johnson isn’t going to run for reelection in 2016 – hence his decision to spend campaign funds on a legal challenge to ObamaCare – it doesn’t seem logical that he’d burn through campaign funds at the very time he should be starting to ramp up his reelection efforts.
Again I ask, when *hasn’t* Ron Johnson demonstrated that he has the intellect of a stump?
