Hmmm...another wild swing. (http://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/elections/election_2012/election_2012_senate_elections/wisconsin/election_2012_wisconsin_senate)

Thompson (R)- 50%
Baldwin (D)- 38%

I've no opinion either way about Thompson...but he's got to be one of the LEAST charismatic politicians I've seen! Don't know who Baldwin is but he or she must have room to turn this around...not that I want the Dems to hold this seat...

It's Rasmussen...

Still would think Thompson's the favourite this time, because he can appeal to moderate's and he's quite bland. Wouldn't surprise me if he lost the primary to Neumann though.

Rasmussen needs to take some lessons from PPP

Teabaggers targeted "Moderate Conservative" Republican establishments in DE(Castle-R),IN(Lugar-R) UT(Hatch-R and Bennett-R) and WI(Thompson-R).
UT does not matter since it is a solid red state. It would take Jim Matheson or Rocky Anderson to a general election race against a Rightwing Teabagger into a Tossup.
IN-Democrats recruited a formidable candidate-Moderate Democratic US House Member Joe Donnelly-D  before it was known that Lugar-R was going down. Since winning in the primary Mourdock-R is acting more like a Rightwing nut. Republican Nominee will get blamed if seat goes Reoublican.
WI-Republicans can not nominate anyone but Thompson or Republican candidates more conservative than Thompson-R (Neumann-R or Fitzgerald-R) WI is a blue state.
