Lol

I bet he'll still be re-elected. Sad #jaded
The Democrats will find the worst possible candidate to put up against him.

They'll try and run say Larson or a Burke clone or milquetoast Barca when they have plenty of solid candidates on the bench.

Again? He never before.

Democrats best choice would probably be state senator Schilling from LaCrosse. No idea if she'll run though.

I was being ironic.

Also, since you're a Republican from Wisconsin, what's your opinion of Abele?

I like Abele, voted for him back in April. Socially liberal and fiscally moderate to conservative. Willing to work with anyone to get the job done. Big advocate of jobs and mental health. Has a strong backing and opposition from different labor unions and members of the black community.

Would give Walker a strong run and likely win if he could get the Dem nomination. Likely wouldn't be able to do it because he's a moderate and has strong opponents. He won in April by landsliding the suburbs and splitting Milwaukee (was 50/50 but he had a slight vote lead). Only lost Shorewood 55-45 (most liberal suburb).

I also don't think he's going to run though but I want him too, but again probably couldn't get the Dem nomination.

Is there a person ideologically close to or a good ally of Feingold who might run on a ticket with Abele? For instance, Chris Larson endorsed Feingold pretty quickly IIRC.

While anything is possible Larson's whole campaign was centered round trying to make people believe that Abele was an evil Republican who didn't care about anyone but himself and the rich.

The Capital Times: 7 Democrats who might challenge Scott Walker in 2018

- Former State Senator Tim Cullen (Represented Janesville and Beloit)
- State Senator Kathleen Vinehout (Represents Eau Claire and the Northern Dirftless Area)
- Senate Minority Leader Jennifer Shilling (Represents La Crosse and the Central Driftless Area)
- Representative Dana Wachs (Represents Eau Claire)
- Dane County Executive Joe Parisi (From the Eastside of Madison)
- U.S. Representative Ron Kind (WI-03, Represents the Western part of the state)
- Exact Sciences CEO Kevin Conroy (From Madison)

As much as I love Parisi, I personally would prefer either Vinehout or Shilling. Democrats need to win the Western part of the state in order to win statewide and they would hopefully be able to carry it.

If Clinton wins I'd put it at 50-50. His approval numbers are the lowest they've been for his entire tenure as Governor, so he'd have to work on bringing that up. I don't think is Presidential campaign or education cuts will be as easy to erase with the common voter as the labor issues were.

If Trump wins I think it is almost an automatic that he would lose.

Of the city mayors, would Jim Schmitt, Dave Cieslewicz, or Tom Barrett be interested in running for Governor?

Jim Schmitt is a Republicna, Dave Cieslewicz hasn't been mayor since 2011 (and Soglin is way to old to run). Barrett won't run again and he's likely done as mayor after his term ends in 2020 as well.

I thought former office holders often run for office. In Wisconsin alone, I can think of Russ Feingold, Peter Barca, and Kathleen Falk.

Some statewide tidbits from the new Marquette poll:

Should marijuana be legalized and regulated like alcohol? (Prior poll with a similar question was September 2014)

Yes 59% (+13)
No 39% (-12)

Scott Walker's approval rating:

38% approve (-1)
58% disapprove (+1)

Walker's approvals have yet to rebound since his presidential run.

Paul Ryan's favorability rating:

48% favorable (-1)
33% unfavorable (+1)

President Obama's approval rating:

51% approval (+/-0)
45% disapproval (+2)

I think it is increasingly likely walker doesn't run again. Good rec marijuana numbers, a advisory referendum on it would be fun.

The fact the state doesn't even have medical is ridiculous.

2018 with Hillary as President in the midterms where Dem turnout will be way down. If he runs it's likely hard for him to lose.

I generally agree with this, but I think he would need to get is approvals back up to the mid-high 40's.

There are a lot of disaffected conservatives with Walker right now, the thing is they'll never vote for who the Dems put up.

Walker says he's planning to run for reelection, won't run for POTUS in 2020.

There has been some public bad blood recently between the two as Thompson has not been of Walker's cuts/changes to the UW system.
