1. I've been slightly tempted to vote for Art Kohl-Riggs

The last time I voted in a Republican primary for Governor, it was for Ben Masel...

[undeterred]

4. I voted for Huntsman a couple weeks ago, just so I could say that I've

crossed the aisle once in this century.

Wow, I can't believe its been a year since we lost Ben Masel.

[AllyCat]

9. Me too. I actually think I may vote for him since I would vote for any of the 4 Dems

against Walker. Would be great to see Walker lose in the primary (unlikely I think, but would be cool).

10. My thread about Arthur was hidden by a jury

because even though I've endorsed Kathleen Vinehout, my positive comments about Art were considered to be "advocating for a Republican."

Arthur is a wonderful, intelligent young man, and my dream election is to have Art win the Republican primary, and Kathleen Vinehout win the Dem primary. Imagine the debates! The two of them would be inspiring, interesting and NICE to each other in the lead-up to the June election!

12. That's funny.

I've talked to 2 people today in Madison who are considering voting for him in the primary since Barrett is apparently a sure thing.

I don't think anyone will alert on you here.

[Scuba]

13. That's a dream scenario. The debates would change the State.

[yourout]

2. I don't have a problem with any of them but I think Barrett gives us the best chance.

In my travels around the state it is obvious Falk is hated with a white hot passion by the rightys. Even my brother who hates Walker hates Falk even more(I am working on it). She will be very easy to paint as a Madison liberal by Walker.

[Scuba]

3. Kathleen Vinehout for me. Tom's got character, but he's too close to being a blue dog.

[sybylla]

18. I've got two concerns on Vinehout

Living near her district, I've met her a couple of times. I like her. I love her passion and the heavy thinking she brings to issues. Her healthcare reform plan for Wisconsin was brilliant.

But...

Like Dembotoz, I cannot trust her on choice. When her own constituents confronted her on her anti-choice votes after she had pledged otherwise (because she couldn't win a Dem primary otherwise), she couldn't manage to come up with any real explanation other than that she really is anti-choice to assuage them.

But, even if I could get past that, the deal breaker for me would be her lousy fundraising. She has only managed to raise $40,000 since she joined the race. Every state senate candidate out-raised her, and none of them have state-wide races to run. In some places, you can't win a county courthouse seat for $40k - and that's with six months to get your message out. How the hell will she beat Wanker if she can't raise the money?

It's the clearest sign that she hasn't a clue how to run a statewide race and it scares me to death.

[Scuba]

19. Thanks for a) having an informed opinion, and b) sharing it....

... I was not aware of her stand on choice, and I'll add it as a knock against her. Like you, I think her healthcare plan is good. I don't think she'll win today.

Most importantly, we all need to get behind whoever does win today.

[dembotoz]

5. i still do not know

i met vineout but don't trust her on choice\

i like falk but i think she would loose

barrett???? is he actually going to have a campaign this time??????
his last go against walker was inept at best

doug?? Is a vote for him like a write in for snoopy?????

have to make up my mind soon

[dragonlady]

6. I wish Falk would tone down the rhetoric against Barrett

Of course she wants to win, but this is a historic election brought about by the efforts of a million people, many who are just not into regular politics. We can't let this degenerate into something ugly that loses the unique quality of the movement and turns people off. Then Walker wins. Everybody should run against him--there's sure enough there to talk about.

[lutefisk]

7. Okay, it's time for me to start supporting Barrett

The two candidates I would vote for in the primary, without reservation, are LaFollette and Vinehout, but I know I have to vote for Barrett. I can't imagine what Wisconsin will look like in 2015 if Walker stays in office. And any way I look at it, Barrett is the best candidate we can run against Walker. And if he wins the primary, I hope the other candidates, especially Falk, work their asses off to help him win in June!

[undeterred]

8. I think its pretty clear that he's got it.

And she'll support him... I think she's just trying to wake him up for the fight.

[lutefisk]

11. He does look a little sleepy, at times...nt

[Scuba]

14. I'll support him if he's our candidate, but I prefer either of the two Kathleens.

Doug's a good guy, but not our best chance to win.

Tom's a good guy, but he lacks progressive credentials, and he already lost to Walker once.

[AllyCat]

22. That's how I feel Scuba. He's already lost once to Walker,

he was the only candidate that refused to show up at our forum in April, and now he's dissing the Dem Unity meeting tomorrow. He's not very pro-labor either. I voted for Vinehout, but will support Barrett in the recall if he is the nominee. I'll support ANY of them in the recall election...I would vote for my cat against Walker.

[WIProgressive88]

15. I've been really impressed with Vinhout but I'm not sure she has the name recognition needed to win,

so most likely I will be voting for Barrett. I do like Falk as well, but I have concerns about her electability on a statewide level.

[ges5626sek]

16. bump.

[undeterred]

17. another bump

[hue]

20. I just voted in the DEm primary for Barret and Mitchell

There really wasn't a line--just 2 people in front of me. I was # 17 at 0730. Polls opened at 0700. Weather wise it's a beautiful spring morning. Barret was last on the Democratic list. Gladys Huber and Isaac Weix ( fake Dems) were first in their columns.
4 more weeks of Walker!! I'm hoping the indictments will be served 2 weeks before the elections (not that it would mean anything to the Repukes!).

[AllyCat]

21. I was #102 after polls open for an hour...smallish city

About 800 people cast votes in the April election (lots of local races). Parking lot full at rural Town of Dunn Town Hall when I drove by this morning about 8:30!

[undeterred]

23. 600 people had voted in my precinct by 6pm and it was busy while I was there...

Nice turnout for the primary in East Madison. We are getting warmed up for the Big Vote next month!!

[Jimbo S]

24. City of Waukesha

Ward 20, #528.

About 8 people in line at 6:30 pm.
