Former Governor Jim Doyle backing Hillary Clinton (AUDIO)
https://www.wrn.com/2016/03/former-governor-jim-doyle-backing-hillary-clinton-audio/During a Clinton stop in Madison this week, Doyle said he made the decision to support the former of Secretary of State while watching the Republican and Democratic presidential debates last year. He said that while watching the candidates, he realized there “really was only one person on either stage who could take on the incredible job of being president of the United States…and that was Hillary Clinton.”
Doyle was a big Obama backer eight years ago, although he said he still felt at the time that Clinton would have been a fine president as well. “She ran up against a very very unique kind of once in a lifetime type of candidate,” he said, pointing out that Clinton learned lessons from that contest that will carry over in this election.
...
Wisconsin has consistently voted for the Democratic nominee since 1988, and Doyle said he sees no reason for that to change this fall, no matter who is nominated. “It’s hard for me to imagine how Wisconsin goes from voting overwhelmingly twice for Barack Obama to somehow voting for Donald Trump or Ted Cruz,” he said. “They shouldn’t take us for granted, but I have little doubt that Hillary Clinton would carry Wisconsin.”

Please note that the last para refers specifically to the GE. The WI Dem primary outcome is still an open question, although I believe that the outcome will be close either way.
