Glenn Grothman: a possible candidate for Lt. Governor? Hurray.

Hi everyone,

Here's an interesting thought:

Republicans talk about core values : La Crosse Tribune

Milwaukee County Executive Scott Walker was the overwhelming favorite for governor in 2010, according to a straw poll of delegates to the State Republican Convention.

[...]

Superior Mayor Dave Ross got 147 votes for lieutenant governor, compared with Sen. Glenn Grothman of West Bend, who got 109 votes. Grothman has been touted as a possible candidate, although he hasn’t said whether he would run. [my italics]

It would be good news for this cata(b)logue of the Senator's ideological Adventures in Wonderland... but it would also be good for a subtler reason.

I've always believed that if people actually knew about the things Senator Grothman said, embarrassment or the ballot box would eventually force him to stop saying them. I could be completely wrong, of course -- it's just a hypothesis.

As usual, my favorite local blog, Illusory Tenant has made some worthwhile observations.
