Momentum in Secretary of State race

Last week Secretary of State Doug La Follette announced he was going to kick off his campaign at the State Democratic Convention. Turns out the ball probably didn't even go ten yards.

The results of the straw poll for the Secretary of State race were 297-205 & 46 undecided in favor of his challenger Scot Ross.

Now of course a straw poll win doesn't automatically translate into a victory in November but it does indicate that Scot Ross is gaining some serious momentum. After 7 terms and with almost three decades of built up name recognition, all La Follette could manage was about 37 percent against someone that only announced about a month ago.

Must have been a strong wind going against that kick.
