Falk for governor? Walker for Congress?

Best advice for writers: Write what you know.

It can be amusing when you don't, like when Owen at Boots and Sabers says he "has been told" that Kathleen Falk is getting ready to run for governor against Jim Doyle in the primary.

"It may not be true, but the prospect sure is interesting," he says.

Well, it is blatantly untrue, as any Wisconsin Democrat could have told him. But that wouldn't have been as interesting.

I don't know if it's true that Scott Walker plans to run against F. Jim Sensenbrenner in the primary next year, instead of running for governor. But the prospect sure is interesting.

On a similar note, the departure of DOA Secretary Marc Marotta caused Brian Christianson at Free Will to speculate that he would run for the Supreme Court, and Lakeshore Laments had him running for attorney general. Marotta is not doing either, of course.
