How about Doug La Follette for Governor?

I think he'd be a very good candidate, and an excellent governor. Is there a downside to Doug?

He's about as inspiring as old green jello. undeterred Jan 2012 #1

The only downside is his intelligence Sabriel Jan 2012 #2

He's a good guy, but probably not electable. Scuba Jan 2012 #3

Would you vote for him if his name wasn't LaFollette, would he even have been Kashkakat v.2.0 Jan 2012 #4

Is he TOO educated? It doesn't seem to play well with a lot of people, from what I've seen.

I'd love him to run. Anyone but Falk, please.

mentioned by anyone as a possibility? He will always have a place in the story of how the Walker regime was resisted - but what really has he been doing in the last 40 years to prepare himself for this moment? Whoever it is will need to be a master communicator and master consensus builder who can work with diverse needs/wishes of everyone who'se come together to do this. Don't think it's him, sorry....

we all get called to do things we don't necessarily want to do. There are these moments in life when the boat comes in and if you don't get on - the rest of your life is tinged with some regret." Even if you have a happy life in other ways - you'll have those "what if" moments in the dead of night.

RUSS!!!! Get in here, duty calls. Even if you don't want to run, you still have a role to play in this. What else you gonna do - just send out email petitions and requests for contributions the rest of your life?
