…a big endorsement for a Republican that is. Tommy Thompson has endorsed Attorney General candidate J.B. Van Hollen for the Republican nomination to take on the winner of the Democratic primary between Kathleen Falk and Peg Lautenschlager.
Last week I mentioned that Bucher faced an uphill battle in the primary race because he was quite a bit behind Van Hollen in terms of money to spend on the race, and the endoresment by one of the heaviest hitters in Wisconsin politics from the Republican side only puts Bucher in a tougher position. Van Hollen may have been down in earlier polling against Bucher, but his cash and endorsement advantage could make this an interesting race.
I live in the Washington Heights neighborhood of Milwaukee, WI with my wife Jen, our daughter Emerson, and sons Carter and Colton.
Looks like we can get set for the whaling Tommy is going to get on TMJ.
Us progressives should not feel singled out because you will see as this election gets bad for the right they will start turning on each other. Take the case of the rumors Kathrine Harris in the Florida Senate race was spreading about Joe Scarborough when it was presumed he would make a try for the seat.
Don’t cross ‘em, no matter what side you are on or they will go all Soprano on your behind.
