1. I like Kathleen Falk and have voted for her...

for Dane county Executive, but after all of this I hope we can come up with a stronger candidate. She has proven she can win in Dane County (Madison), but she hasn't proven she can win statewide in her other runs for office.

2. I don't think she's our strongest candidate...

... I'd rather see...


Feingold
Erpenbach
Obey
Barcus
Kind


I think any of the above would stand a better chance of beating Walker than Ms. Falk, but I do like her.

3. Add a couple more to this list

Dr. Steve Kagen
Former Lt. Gov. Barbara Lawton
(Firefighter Mahlon Mitchell has been mentioned, but since he has not held an elective office yet, he seems to be considered more for Lt. Gov, where we also need a good candidate.)

I agree, Falk would be a poor choice.
