Sad news, but at least Master Jedi will be happy.

According to Wikipedia, Tommy Thompson is still a potential candidate for Governor. Is there a real chance he could enter the race now?

No, he said he wasn't running about two months ago or so because his family didn't want him to.

I do hope these polls are right. Doyle has done nothing in 8 years and let the state slide. Barrett is better than him but really just more of the same. Walker will win the primary and hopefully win come November. I really hope Neuman drops out, he's a good guy and almost managed to defeat Feingold back in 98 but he's be gone since then.

I think this November will be as good for GOP governors as 2002 was for Democratic governors. Several states have had Dem governors for two terms and there will be a desire for change. In 2002 Democrats did good in the governors races because of the same desire for change after years of GOP gubernatorial success in the 90's, even though they lost control of the Senate in the same election. This year will be good for the GOP in both the states and Congress.
