Doyle Announcement
Alright folks, gets your predictions in now—what’s it gonna be? And make it funny.
A spokeswoman for Gov. Jim Doyle said Saturday that Doyle would make an announcement on his future on Monday, after a report surfaced Saturday that the governor would not seek re-election.
Doyle has located Chandra Miller Fienen’s application for admission to the bar behind a file cabinet in the office of legal counsel, right next to Barack Obama’s Kenyan birth certificate, Doyle’s inter-d note to Pocan and Miller about the Talgo trains, and three torrid love letters from Stan Johnson that tell us more about Doyle’s relationship with WEAC than we ever wanted to know.
He will then invite everyone to a post-announcement reception in the lieutenant governor’s office, where Babs Lawton will serve some orange drink and display some more crappy artwork and party loyalists will immediately whip out their Blackberries and commence begging Ron Kind to run for governor.

He’s going to Washington to follow Bo around the White House grounds with plastic baggies.

Doyle will announce his plans to resigna to take a position as Senior VP/Director of Wisconsin operations for Talgo. In an “unrelated” move later in the day, Doyle will announce that he will direct Georgia Thompson to put together a “special” request for bids for a new stimulus project- a rail line from Madison to Superior.

Doyle’s mask will finally be removed to reveal his true identity: old man Willoughby!
As he’s led away by authorities, he will snarl - “I would have gotten away with it if it wasn’t for those meddling kids and that…that…dog!”

With Walker and Neumann running on the GOP side this is an excellent time for the Dems to choose a new leader. We could not have a weaker opponent(s).
So if this is true I think the timing is very good for Dems.

OK. This made me laugh:

Is he going to run for governor of Minnesota?

After announcing his plans not seeking a third term, Jim Doyle annouces that he has been appointed by President Obama as the new Train Czar, citing his extensive research and interest in establishing The John Galt Line—whoops—high speed rail in large urban areas all over the country.

After the politico scoop was dropped yesterday, Jim Doyle was seen leaving a Madison area hobby store wearing a train conductors hat, and carrying a N size model train starter kit. Doyle was reported to be muttering to himself “All aboard! Choo, choo.”

Doyle will now return to his home planet, having completed his assignment of proving the people of Wisconsin are redoubtably the stupidest creatures on the face of the earth. The proof being only idiots would re-elect him to a second term after learning of the dirty dealings his administration was involved in during his first term, and who then went on to vote overwhelmingly to put obama into office. On second thought, maybe stupid and idiot aren’t descriptive enough to accurately portray the ignorance of the Wisconsin voter.

Sorry folks that should read “undoubtedly”.

At first blush the right-wingers were in ecstacy—The Evil One has stepped aside. Who can stop the Boy-Wonder County Executive.
But later in the day the Crime-Fighting (literally!) Mayor stepped into action, saving the grandmother and young child by standing in their place and accepting the blows of the drunken punk.
Imagine a Walker vs. Barrett general election—Wauwatosa vs. Milwaukee. All the perceived advantages of the Boy Wonder County Executive are flushed. Think about it.

How is fiscal discipline flushed?

As posted, Rational Observer clearly makes my point. The state is infested with bleeding hearts.

The anti-Milwaukee bias is on both sides of the aisle, so that is a wash. It would bring the race to issues and image, and I’ll take Walker every day of the week and twice on Sundays on those battles.

Walker’s claim to fame is that he can attract a measure of support in Milwaukee County above and beyond what previous Republican candidates. That advantage is likely lost if the Democratic nominee is the Mayor of Milwaukee.
Barrett can also go toe-to-toe with Walker on all the urban issues.
The big winner here could be Alfred E. Neumann, if Republican primary voters can think that far.

Walker’s claim to fame is fiscal responsibility.

Hands down the best comment. Well done Jim.

“Walker’s claim to fame is fiscal responsibility.”
That’s a hoot. He plays the same kind of games to spend less that Doyle does to spend more—each is the mirror image of the other. With Doyle off the ballot, the focus will switch to Walker’s shifty parsimony. Over time, this dog won’t hunt either.
Again, the Doyle withdrawal leaves Alfred E. Neumann in the catbird seat, if Republican primary voters can think this thing through.

That’s a hoot.
Good luck with that. Numbers and budgets don’t lie…
I’d love to see some of your examples, but highly doubt they exist…

Jim Doyle will announce he is returning all his ill-got campaign money to the Indian gaming interests and will void the treaty that was to last until the sun dies and the oceans dry up as he is going to turn back the clock in Wisconsin to the days when Catholic Church bingo was the only gambling allowed.

Why isn’t he following the Palin model and quitting?

Because there is still so much more damage he can inflict on the state. Like all criminals, he has no shame.

The Doyle/Sullivan team has been the last 100 year’s fiscal nightmare. They have set records never to be broken.
