New contender for Wisconsin's senate race?

The announcement by Thomson that he will not run has now led to the possibility that other more credible candidates will now take part. Ron Johnson is the newest possible contender. He has money and does not seem to have any of the idiotic positions or baggage the other candidates have. Leinenkugel has baggage as Doyle's commerce secretary, Terrance wall hasn't paid state income taxes in 5 years, and Westlake has raised less than 14,000 dollars with his idiotic T shirt selling campaign. The unknown factor however is how much does Johnson actually know about politics because anyone who debates Feingold better have a good grasp of the issues otherwise Feingold will make them look stupid. I think Paul Ryan is the same for the Republicans. I don't think you have to agree with these candidates to know that both are very smart and the opponents need to put strong candidates to oppose them otherwise it will be a rough campaign.
