Comments on: Former Rep. Mark Neumann Not Backing Down in GOP Race for Governor Against Scott Walker http://dancody.org/archives/former-rep-mark-neumann-not-backing-down-in-gop-race-for-governor-against-scott-walker.html Progressive commentary & Wisconsin politics by Dan Cody of Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

The impending fight between Walker and Neumann will certainly help Doyle, as they end up beating the you-know-what out of each other. Whoever comes out of that Republican primary will be battered and will have created a ton of fodder for the Doyle campaign (way to go WI Republican's!). I also think their is still serious trepidation, by the electorate, to vote in Republicans; with that and everything else the Republican Party of Wisconsin is doing, I believe we'll see Doyle in the Governor's Mansion for another term.....Unfortunately.

Hope he's paid his taxes!

Fri, 24 Apr 2009 14:48:57 +0000 http://dancody.org/?p=2511#comment-57951 Sorry, Corey, but things are going to be stacked against Doyle. I think in 2010, there will be a huge anti-incumbent vote- no matter what party. I think a lot of Dems will get thrown out and a lot of GOP as well. In addition, there will be more of the anti-tax revolt, especially in the Spring, where people who thought they were going to get tax relief from this stimlus money they are getting now, but will get a lower refund or no refund at all. Finally, Doyle is not that popular in the State right now, so he may not even run. I can picture a scenario where he is picked to be a cabinet member or czar of the Obama adminstration.

A gentleman from Appleton has already announced he'll be running for the Republican nomination, but can't seem to get the media to take notice. Mark Todd is at this point the only announced candidate running: http://dancody.org/archives/theres-at-least-one-republican-running-for-governor-in-wisconsin.html And I see he did the right thing and changed his logo to be a little less "Obamaish".

More the merrier and the ultimate winner will kick Doyle's butt. I think there will be other canidates as well. More the merrier and the ultimate winner will kick Doyle’s butt.

They know, you see, he can't win a race unless he's unopposed (and yes, I'm including the last general election in that statement; the Dems didn't field a real candidate). Probably petulantly.
