Green and his shadow

The Wisconsin State Journal has a story about the GOP convention this weekend with the title "GOP gets fired up about Green". But right below that it says "Thompson delivers a rousing speech" so it's a little murky as to which politician they are fired up about.

As you read the article, it becomes clear that the best thing Tommy Thompson did for Rep. Mark Green that day was slip out the side door right after his speech without answering any questions so he would stop casting a shadow on the republican nominee for governor. Especially since one convention attendee 'gushes' about his "reasonable enthusiasm" for Mark Green in the article. Wow, talk about fired up.

The guy with reasonable enthusiasm goes on to say this about Green:

"I don't think he's a firebrand on the stump. I don't think he's an Abe Lincoln."

If this is the GOP version of rallying behind a candidate, I like the Dem's chances this fall.
