Related: About this forumHovde set to buy election?
Are we going to have another multimillionaire going to try and buy another WI election? I guess I shouldn't be surprised that Repubs would vote for a guy who moved here to win a Senate seat. He's lived in DC for the past 27 years. Yeah, he's a real Wisconsinite.

(3,619 posts)1. That's my fear...
his campaign ads are very reminiscent of Ron Johnson's. I think we've seen that money buys elections in this state.

with enough investment in media.

He's the worst of a bad bunch because he's young and attractive and if he gets in we'll never get rid of him.
Think about voting for Thompson in the Republican primary next month. Tammy has a shot at beating him.
