Me personally, no. Maybe MasterJedi will? /s

If nobody other than that guy who ran in California runs i'd suggest having either Jedi run or have Xingerui move to Wisconsin and run, he seems willing to.

But seriously if no real candidate jumps in Walker wins by +15 and might push whoever runs for senate over Baldwin, i'd assume Kleefisch guns for Senate now.

[MasterJedi]

Hah, you guys are funny. I will definitely not be running.

Then are you ready for Walker to win uncontested?

Actually living and earning a living is something that would be more important personally.

Falk? She couldn't even win the AG race during the 2006 wave.

Vinehout? She would be a pretty good choice. Represents an area that Democrats need to win in order to take the state.

[MT Treasurer]

Democrats need to be a bit more patient here. Walker (and Baldwin, for that matter) will be seriously challenged, and even if a random State Representative runs, they will get at least 45% of the vote. I predict Walker wins after a tough fight, though. Lean R for now.

Xingerui/Jedi 2018!

Haha, Jedi should definitely be at the top of that ticket, though.

Anyway, I mostly agree with what TNVol said. This is sort of reminiscent of the North Carolina Senate race last year. Everyone was ready to declare Burr safe early on, but the race did get more competitive. Walker probably wins in a neutral to good year for Republicans, but if things get bad for Republicans, a generic Democrat could probably win here. (#GenericDemocrat2018, am I right?)

Vinehout. Justice for 2014.

Flaming Hot Take here: I have more hope in the Iowa race than Wisconsin.

[BuckeyeNut]

Vinehout seems like a decent candidate, were she to run.

[KingSweden]

Flaming Hot Take here: I have more hope in the Iowa race than Wisconsin.

Indeed. Any of Boulton, Pritchard or Leopold seem solid

Yes, especially Pritchard and Boulton.

Good news, state found an additional $93 million for road funding that was missed, too bad it's still $900 million short! Walker's solution, don't raise anything a dime to pay for it, bond millions more and keep deferring those payments. -_-

Assembly idea: Cut the income tax by a lot, raise the gas tax by a little and put in toll roads everywhere that people seem to think would only be paid by FIBs (lol). So another terrible idea.

Edit: Told my dad about this, his response was it's Doyle's fault because he raided the transportation fund and that we would be in a lot worse position without Walker.

Everyone says it's Doyle's fault when Walker has been in control for 7 years and he keeps saying there's a surplus somehow.

How the heck is this Doyle's problem? He's ancient history in the state at this point! Oh my goodness.

It's all you see on social media about this, it's Doyle's fault for pre-2010 taking money out of that fund. Or that we need to cut taxes and services and we'll pay for the roads just fine.

Every day I am thankful that my terrible governor is at least tempered by a Democratic state house.
