A good read from Jo over at Fox Politics about candidates for the 8th in Wisconsin.
I'm wondering how Jo can call Reid Ribble a fiscal conservative?Just because he owns a business?
"The Republican primary in the 8th could ultimately be a huge field – many from whom we voters can choose.
Paul Jadin, former Mayor of Green Bay. Current President of the Green Bay Area Chamber of Commerce. This is about the time Jadin said he’d be deciding; no decision yet, but looks like he may opt to continue to make a difference from where he is now.
Terri McCormick, former State Rep. in the 56th District, unsuccessful 8th Congressional District primary candidate. Owner of personal consulting business. Probably getting in the race before Thanksgiving.
Reid Ribble, Kaukauna business owner, fiscal conservative, not a politician. Knows his stuff. Doing a good job with fundraising.
Roger Roth, State Representative, 56th District. Finishing an Air National Guard tour of duty in Iraq. Home in a few weeks. All signs say he’ll be in the race soon.
Marc Savard, Door County Bd. of Supervisors, organic farmer. Minimal political experience. Bright. Minimal fundraising.
Kerry Thomas, a conservative out of Vilas County. In the past, a harsh critic of John Gard and an advocate for Terri McCormick.
Marc Trager, retired military radiologist in Green Bay. Could fight Kagen physician to physician.
Andy Williams, Brown County Supervisor, practicing attorney after recently earning his law degree.
Thoughts are that two or three others from the northern regions of the congressional district may get in as well.
Then there’s former Niagara Mayor Joe Stern who is dissatisfied with both parties and intends to run as a conservative independent.
And then there's the incumbent. If you were a betting man, would you bet on Kagen running again? I’m not hearing any noise from that quarter – are you?
Steve Kagen. A vote for federally funded abortions. A vote for massive overhaul of health care in America that Paul Ryan calls the third wave of Progressivism. FDR, Lyndon Johnson, Steve Kagen. Yup. Elections mean something.

The other thing not pointed out is how that great fundraising of Ribble's is all out-of-district except for around $9,000.
Apparently McCormick is making an announcement next week & Roth has had folks at different events the past few weeks.
Will prove to be an interesting 1st part of 2010 as all this is sorted out.
Brad, I agree about the money. Seems it's being brushed over.
I don't know a lot about McCormick and Roth but it shouldn't take much time find out.
Your right it will be interesting.
Have a GREAT week
