In related news from Wisconsin, Bart Starr will run for US Senate, Ted Hendricks for Governor, Brian Noble runs in WI-8, Ezra Johnson for Milwaukee County Sheriff, Jon Staggers will challenge St. Senator Mary Lazich for the GOP nomination, Leland Glass for Milwaukee mayor and Charles Martin for Attorney General.

Seriously, having worked for AFL MVP Jack Kemp, the RNC should continue recruitment from the retired NFL ranks.

Who would you rather have defending your bill from The Well of the House Floor, wimpy Christopher Shays or tough-guy Conrad Dobler?
