No Runny Eggs

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.

Scott Walker is now in the ring – UPDATE – Mark Neumann to likely follow

by @ 18:09. Filed under Politics - Wisconsin.

The word from his Twitter account – “I just filed my paperwork to run for governor of Wisconsin.”

Revisions/extensions (9:41 pm 4/24/2009) – WISN-TV reports (H/T – WisPolitics) that they confirmed that the Tuesday/Wednesday announcement tour by Walker will be his formal announcement of candidacy.

WISN and others also report that Neumann intends to jump in “some time between now and October.”

One more item, also via WisPolitics – the Superior Telegram is reporting that Superior mayor Dave Ross is exploring the possibility of running for lieutenant governor on the Republican ticket, and expects to decide in the fall.

Welcome to Twitter, WisDems

I likely won’t be following the Democratic Party of Wisconsin on Twitter, but Tweets like this one may make me change my mind because there’s just so much good comedy material inside of 140 characters:

Kevin already pointed out the fact that they misspelled Mark Neumann’s last name. Come on, DPW. If you’re going to endorse an opponent in the opposition party’s primary, at least get the name right. One more thing on that; don’t try the “Twitter = text message” excuse – that Tweet didn’t come from a cell phone.

Speaking of endorsing, I assume there is a reason why, at this early stage, the DPW is trying to select Jim Doyle’s opponent now. They’re not exactly afraid of someone who has been out of politics the last 10 1/2 years, while they’re deathly afraid of a certain county executive.
