Bucher assembling cast of losers

Quick, what do Steve King, Mark Neumann, and John Gillespie have in common?

Yes, they're all out there on the extreme right fringe of the Republican Party, but that's not the answer I was looking for.

True, they are all co-chairs of the Paul Bucher for Attorney General campaign, but that's not it, either.

Correct answer: All three have lost statewide elections in Wisconsin, and none of them has ever won one.

Neumann lost to Sen. Russ Feingold, Gillespie lost to Sen. Herb Kohl, and King didn't even win his party's nomination, losing a Senate primary to Susan Engeleiter, who went on to lose to Kohl. Remember her? No? Remember Steve King? No? Remember any of those losers?

If that campaign committee ever actually gets together, they should all have a lot of good advice about what not to do. Bob Welch, Russ Darrow and Tim Michels should be signing on any day now.

(Bucher's campaign could use an editor. The release announcing Gillespie said he was joining the campaign on the "heals" of Bucher winning two straw polls.)
