Bob Kastenmeier " Don't give up the ship,"

"Yes, Walker is doing well as a possible contender for the GOP's presidential nomination, but "I tell my friends that it's not a good sign when 47 to 48 percent of the people in your home state not only don't agree with you, they hate you — bitterly. This is a big negative that people out of the state don't realize."

"Meanwhile, he's ecstatic over the possibility that former Sen. Russ Feingold is planning to make a comeback by taking on the man who beat him in 2010, Ron Johnson.

"Russ will have a wonderful chance to win," Kastenmeier predicted.

What I remember best about this Wisconsin political legend is that despite all the heated battles and contentious debates, he was always a gentleman who believed no matter how bitter the politics, the bottom line was to play fair."

Wise man. Some of the comments I've been seeing on FB back him up. People have more than the usual dislike of politicians for Scotty. Takes a special man to breed that kind of animosity

Keep the faith old timer! Go Bucky Go Badgers and Go Brewers ( of the 3 I think Walker is a Brewers fan the most, I gagged when he appears at their games and promos)

I wonder if SW ever cheers for his old school, the Golden Warriors?

If Wanker showed up at a Badger game he'd be booed out of the place.

I don't reckon he would be welcomed much at Lambeau either, what with the NFL players union and it's bratwurst socialist ownership structure and no fat cat corporate welfare to grift off

He does love him some brew crew though. He appeared in the "Happy" video that DUer a Kennedy posted here last season .
