Governors Stumping for Mark Green
A former, a soon-to-be former, and a current governor came out Saturday to stump for Mark Green letting Wisconsin voters know he should be leading Wisconsin for the next four years. In Wausau, Massachusetts’ Mitt Romney and Mississippi’s Haley Barbour asked a enthusiastic Republican crowd to work hard and vote for Green. Barbour mentioned the negative ads flooding the airwaves saying, “There’s a reason for all the negative advertisements…. If a governor can’t run on his record, it means you need a new governor.” Romney mentioned one of his first jobs was in Wausau. He then attacked Gov. Jim Doyle for being in the pocket of not just special interests but “selfish interests.” (It sounds like a phrase he’s experimenting with for a Presidential run.)
In Fon du Lac ex-governor Tommy Thompson joined Mark Green at a rally. Tommy donned a Wisconsin Badgers jacket to complement Green’s Green Bay Packers sweater.
