And I agree, Hassan looks strong if Sununu doesn't run. WI is truly a toss-up.

Sure would be sweet if we could get to 52.

Madison and Milwaukee get the attention and then the headlines disappear.

Wisconsin needs star power to dominate the headlines statewide.

2016. Abandoned. And Trump won.

Would Kind have defeated Johnson? or Would Kind have narrowly lost to Johnson by a margin similar to Feingold’s defeat against Johnson?

I don’t know anything on Ron Kind’s personality.

I met Russ Feingold 2x briefly.

Would he have defeated Tommy Thompson due to Obama coattails? Obama carried WI in 2012 by a 7 percent margin.
Tammy Baldwin or Ron Kind could have challenge Ron Johnson in 2016.
