At the meeting's conclusion, Gov. Doyle emphasized the importance of Wisconsin in shaping the election this coming year.

"One of the great things about the Wisconsin primary is that it is an open primary," Doyle said, lauding the fact that both Republicans and Democrats can vote in the state's democratic primary. "It's an open primary in a state that is very much up for grabs in the fall."

Although Gov. Doyle made it clear he would not endorse any candidate, he praised Clark as a man with "broad political experience" who would make a good president. Doyle's Lieutenant Governor Barbara Lawton is Chair of Clark's Wisconsin campaign and has recently been criticized by state Republicans for allegedly campaigning on state time.
