Trouble in FitzWalkerstan: Jeff Fitzgerald's stalled Senate campaign reflects Scott Walker's falling

What ever happened to Jeff Fitzgerald?

The Assembly speaker and water-carrier-in-chief for Gov. Scott Walker was supposed to reap his rewards for leading the tea party takeover of our state Legislature when he burst on the scene as Walker's favored candidate for U.S. Senate. When Fitzgerald announced his candidacy, to replace the retiring Herb Kohl, the National Journal ran a story explaining why Fitz could win:

"During the protracted fight over collective bargaining, Fitzgerald became a regular on Fox News and a familiar voice on the influential conservative radio programs in the Milwaukee area."

Fitzgerald himself likes to note that he is a "fresh face," part of "a new generation of conservatives" (in contrast to his opponents, Club for Growth punching bag Tommy Thompson and serial loser Mark Neumann). He helped recruit the new crop of Republican freshmen who took over a majority in the state Assembly and named him speaker.
