Kevin runs through the winners and losers in the wake of Doyle’s announcement that he is not running for a third term. He proves he is an honest broker by including himself as one of the big losers in the “Those Who Though Doyle Was Running” category. Yes, I do have to put myself there too – I said the moment that he line-item-vetoed the Milwaukee Transit Taxing Authority out of the DemoBudget, he was running.
Looking back at it, that was his last, desperate gasp at trying to save his 2010 chances. Doyle absolutely, positively needed Milwaukee County by a big margin, just like every other Democrat.
