Assembly Majority Leader Bill Kramer might be resigning his post due to sexual harassment accusations. It seems that the Republican leadership has recently reached that conclusion.

This is strange james o'keefe seems to have targeted a republican and it was with something actually serious. This one seems to be a Dem pickup opportunity aswell.

Dang, two possible Dem pickups. Too bad these seats weren't up in 2012 or 2016.

Ellis has decided not to run for re-election. Wow that was quick. I would say Ellis has some decency for deciding to retire, but he had the audacity to say this:

State senator Joe Leibham, representing the 9th district, would be interested to run for Petri's seat. An another pick up possibilty for the democrats? Obama carried this district by 4 points in 2008 (and Romney carried this district by 7 points in 2012)

Walker might run for President in 2016 or the United States Senate in 2018 against Baldwin.

Nah. That guy isn't going to win against Petri in a primary, and no democrat is picking up that seat.

Oh, well I still don't expect anything to change. GOP already has 3 candidates in the race, any clear frontrunner?

Yes, this guy

And that's why we are saying this could be somewhat competitive.

And you Gass, if the 9th district is open, is it a potential dem pick up?

Grothman is the frontrunner only because I'm pretty sure he's the only one that's officially in. I may be wrong though.

The 9th would be a really hard pick up. The Sheboygan-Manitowoc area, even though it was historically Democratic (look at 1960 Presidential election), is pretty Republican now. It would be very hard for a Democrat to win. However, the mayor of Manitowoc is a Democrat and pretty popular. If he were to run, I think it would at least be competitive.

If it comes down to Leibham and Grothman, I'd probably call Leibham the frontrunner.

I have trouble seeing the Democrats pick up Leibham's seat unless there is some sort of scandal. Even if the Democrats have a popular mayor, what sort of margins would they have to run up around Manitowoc to cancel out Sheboygan County? Leibham won Sheboygan County by about 15,000 votes last time around. Last time Manitowoc County only had about 20,000 voters.
