The repository of one hard-boiled egg from the south suburbs of Milwaukee, Wisconsin (and the occassional guest-blogger). The ramblings within may or may not offend, shock and awe you, but they are what I (or my guest-bloggers) think.Sat, 07 Jan 2006 10:43:00 +0000

Thompson was perhaps one of the worst things that could have happened to Wisconsin Republicans. He was enormously popular. He was very good at “picture postcard” legislation (e.g., school choice, welfare-reform.)
But he was pasting those pictures over a growing cancer–his increase of State payroll by thousands, his willingness to spend money like there was no tomorrow, particularly on highway and building contractors.
IOW, Tommy Thompson was the icon of the Big Government Republican.
