Scott Walker tried to eliminate the UW’s “Wisconsin Idea” — literally tried to strike it from the statutes. Now Walker’s toady (Bryan Steil) is running to replace Paul Ryan on the message that he was Walker’s pick for UW Board of Regents.

Steil is an unimaginably AWFUL prospect.

................Another GOP candidate is Jeremy Ryan, a liberal who frequently rode a Segway around the Capitol during the 2011 protests in Madison.

Democratic candidates in the race include ironworker Randy Bryce and Janesville School Board member Cathy Myers.

Bryce's campaign wasted no time slamming Steil as an out-of-touch political insider.

"It's hard to think of anyone less in touch with the struggles facing working families than a third-generation corporate attorney from a politically connected family," said campaign spokeswoman Lauren Hitt. "A former Ryan staffer and a current Walker appointee, Bryan Steil is part of the institutional Republican swamp that believes we should give tax breaks to the wealthy and pay for it by attacking working people's retirements and health care."

Myers also chimed in on Steil's announcement.

"Voters don’t want another rubber stamp in Washington; they want a representative who will fight for them," she said, adding, "I am encouraged by Bryan Steil’s willingness to have a real conversation about the issues. I look forward to debating and letting voters decide who can best represent their values in Congress.”

2. Oh, I dig his quote here!!:

“I want to take our Wisconsin work ethic and my problem-solving experience to Washington's non-stop crisis factory," he said.

Admittedly, this lawyer/driver guy can turn a nice phrase, but whose fucking —CRISIS FACTORY— are you talkin about here, cowboy?

...hang tough, Wisconsin!!
