[Wiz in Wis]

How about we post the numbers for actual candidates?

.

Jim Doyle (D-inc)  48
Scott Walker (R)   36
Undecided          16

Jim Doyle (D-inc)  49
Mark Neumann (R)   35
Undecided          16

Jim Doyle (D-inc)  45
Tommy Thompson (R) 47
Undecided           8


Interestinly, Lt Gov Lawton does almost as well against all comers.

Barbara Lawton (D) 44
Scott Walker (R)   35
Undecided          21

Barbara Lawton (D) 43
Mark Neumann (R)   35
Undecided          22

Barbara Lawton (D) 44
Tommy Thompson (R) 46
Undecided          10

I'll admit, I am a bit surprised to see these numbers. I would have thought that ol Jimmie would be doing worse. Course, maybe Obama really changed the electorate.

Barbara Lawton isn't known to about half of the WI electorate.

If she were, she'd probably beat Thompson by a few points.

Also a good showing by the huge FF Jim Doyle, despite having low approvals.

Thompson might actually run?  odd

[Keystone Phil]

So let me get this straight...

Doyle is consistently rated as an unpopular Governor but he's comfortably beating two candidates in the head to head match ups except the one guy who is often said to be beloved in the state (but he's only leading by two points). Oh...ok...

To be fair, it doesn't look like R2K fudged the numbers. I was suspicious too, but their party spread is 39D-35R-27I... the 2008 exit poll was 39D-33R-29I.

Thompson isn't beloved. He was successful, but polarizing.

He's also been out of office for nearly 10 years.

I'm lazy and even if I wasn't I'd rather be sensationalist

It seems like they found some heavily Democratic leaning Independents though.

[Small Business Owner of Any Repute]

Assuming that turnout in 2010 will be exactly like turnout in 2008 is pure folly.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

51% don't know who Walker is either. He has the most room to grow. If turns out to be a good candidate and wins 1/3 of those undecides he will beat Doyle. Any incumbent below 50 is vulnerable. He is still weak enough to be defeated. So I say the Republicans Walker.

[pogo stick]

If it's Thompson vs Doyle. Guess I'd be rooting for Doyle. Thompson  made some controversial comments about Jews when he ran for president in 2008.

Though I'm starting to forgive him.


Plus he looks like a ugly pitbull.
