#1 I wouldn't trust this kind of hypothetical very far. In a real election, the media support for Democrats has to be worth 5 or 6 points at least. Look how well Kerry polled.

#2 Tommy running? I'll believe it when I actually see it. And I'm not sure how much enthusiasm people can muster for him.

Tommy Thompson's administration as governor saw a lot of accounting tricks and deficit spending. Doyle has made things a lot worse; but Tommy wasn't particularly careful with the budget. Tommy invented the "Vanna White" veto, in which he would delete individual letters to make new words. More recently, the state banned the "Frankenstein Veto", in which Tommy, his predecessor Tony Earl, and Doyle had all struck out some words and stitched together odd clauses to make the law read something completely different from what the legislature had passed.

Tom Barrett (D) for Governor

Tom Barrett is the Mayor of Milwaukee, who took a nasty cut to the hand when coming to the aid of a lady during State Fair last August. The woman was trying to keep her addict ex-son-in-law from snatching the baby. Cops arrested the attacker. The attacker came up for trial and, understandably, is asking for a change of venue!

#3 Well, Tommy Thompson was governor for so long (1986-2001), that my mind automatically went to the gov race instead of the Senate race.
