Rae Vogeler gets endorsement of area news papers.
In my opinion, Rae faces two obstacles; the first is that she is out-monied by Herb Kohl, as anyone would be, she needs name recognition, because I don't think Kohl has that much going for him as far as his reconrd is concerned-hence his refusal to debate, and second, there are some sports fans who like what he has doen for keeping the Bucks in the state and his interest(read $$) in sports.
Maybe if Rae became a professional golfer or joined the UW Women's hockey team, she'd have a better shot.
It may appear that the endorsement is shared with Magnum because she poses a threat to Democrats by running against one, and therefore is a better choice for Republicans, but if you look at the opponents, Tammy Baldwin and Herb Kohl, they have in common an inneffectiveness and exude "career politician" from every pore, just making you want to vote for whomever the runs against them.
I'm in the group of people who will probably hold their nose and vote for Baldwin, though, on account of the need for Democratic votes in the Congress.
A young lady from a Congressional Democratic group came to my door asking for money to support a Democratic majority in Congress and I let her have it about Bladwin's invisibility, (unless she's cutting humanitarian aid to Palestine.)
