Who Will Run For Wisconsin Governor?

Some Great posts from some great blog sites about Diamond Jim and who is next for Wisconsin. You can read their full posts at their links. 

Here Try2Focus on the Wisconsin gov. race.
"It’s the first open race for Governor in Wisconsin since 1982. As far as the race there is the question of who on the Democratic side will get Governor Doyle’s support."
 Try 2 Focus

His take from Lakeshore Laments
"August 17, 2009 · Filed under Economics
The Winners and Losers of the Doyle Decision

Here's my take on the Winners, Losers, and "the Push" of the Doyle announcement he's not seeking re-election next year."

A post from yoSAMite.
"Who else will run, Congressman Ron Kind, Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett, state Sen. Joe Erpenbach, any other darkhorse cnadidates." yoSAMite says


Listening to Mark Belling, he brings up some good points.

You need money. If you have your own, you spend it. Think about it.

You need the teachers unions and all other unions in Wisconsin. Think about who
has their nose up the unions .............?

You need the backing of the Native American Tribes in Wisconsin.

You need connections to Milwaukee.

You need the liberal left. You need every kook from the far left.

You need the green group.

You need a ego as big as the Titanic.

Who can show they can win at least two elections in a strong republican area of Wisconsin.

Who has money, is tight with the unions, is in tight with the casino tribes, was fund raising in Milwaukee, who do the liberal left back no matter what they say, who for saving the planet, who can make up stories to keep themselves happy and who won two elections in a strong republican district?

Come on, if Mark Belling is right and he generally knows what he is talking about, the only person in Wisconsin to run as a democrat for governor with a good chance to win is.
Come on, the one person that fits in all these categories.

No, not Lawton, Kind, not Barrett, Erpenbach, or Falk.


So you think I'm crazy. Go ahead laugh, but if you listen to Belling's criteria you have only one choice to make. This person has what the left wants. Come on you know who I think will run for Wisconsin Governor in 2010.

JB, thanks for the comment.

In my post I did not quote a first name. The Joe Erpenbach was from another blog for which I quoted.

Maybe you can clarify for me, I seem to get different Erpenbacks under Google to fact check your fact check. Joe must be Jon's son. Did I get that right, please clarify? You spelled Jon, "JOHN" Erpenbach. The following link

http://www.legis.state.wi.us/Senate/sen27/news/

shows a Jon Erpenbach in the Wisconsin 27th district. Which "Jon", "John" is it?

A mentor of mine told me to learn something new everyday. JB, help to learn something new. Which "Jon", "John" are you talking about. I would appreciate your help to correct my mistake. It takes a real person to admit a mistake. If I'm wrong, please correct me. Help me out here.

Thanks again and have a GREAT week and weekend.
