Could Green be running for Congress again?
The Cook Political Report, ranking House races, lists Wisconsin's' 8th District, an open seat being vacated (perhaps) by Mark Green, as "leaning Republican." That's the middle category of three, the others being tossup or "likely Republican." Of the seats listed as competitive, 24 are now held by Rs, 11 by Ds. The list.
My "perhaps" -- sort of an asterisk -- indicates that in the unlikely event that Tommy Thompson enters the governor's race, Green may drop back and run for his old seat, even though there are some bad campaign finance implications in that decision. Remember Rep. Jim Moody's 1988 decision to drop out of the US Senate race and run for the House again, greatly upsetting a flock of Dems running to replace him in the House. John Gard must be watching Tommy pretty closely to see if he starts the domino effect.
