Oh, just great, Grothman is the GOP candidate for our congressman.

Our congressman Tom Petri is retiring.

Although Joe Leibham won't concede, just yet.

But if Glenn Grothman is the GOP candidate, we are going to have a democrat win.

I've never seen a sign anywhere, at any time, that said "Vote for so-and-so, LIBERAL DEMOCRAT", but I'm still hoping.

I think it's their new dog whistle for saying "If you're a teabagger, vote for me 'cause I'm a teabagger too! Oh, and impeach Obama before he takes your guns!"
