Republican Candidate for Wisconsin's open U.S. Senate seat
4,000 Nomination Signatures in Just Three Weeks!
Yesterday, our campaign turned in the maximum allowed 4,000 nomination signatures from 61 of Wisconsin’s 72 counties, making us the first in the race for Wisconsin’s open U.S. Senate seat to do so.
Though I've never run for office before, we were able to collect more than 4,000 signatures in just three weeks!
After just two months in the race, the momentum and grassroots support is continuing to build around our fight to take back the U.S. Senate.
Supporters from literally every corner of the state circulated nomination forms, which is a strong indicator of our organization, our strength and the power of our message.
Big thanks to everyone who helped out!

Thats right, you vote for the person that keeps the free goobermint cheese coming. Some day you will have to man up Randy old boy and provide for yourself, carry your own water.

That's unwittingly ironic, Alfred, since I not only work, pay taxes, and upon occasion carry actual water.
I never had any of that free government cheese. Is it good?

All for naught then, Randy. I'm sure he's devastated.

Just what Wisconsin needs, another radical Tea/ALEC/Koch candidate. No thank you.

Bren, this guy seems a little outside of that circle you so ever keep bringing up.

Go back to the public trough Bren(D-Marxism) and stop your complaining. You have it good being a parasite on the backs of the working, just thank us once in a while.

Eric, Unfortunately this post makes you sound like the idiot recallers. "Wisconsin Democrats announced Tuesday that they have collected over a million signatures to recall Republican Gov. Scott Walker". Well that was a big lie and we'll see how that worked for them.

Any other Democrats like to weigh in just to let everyone know they won't be voting for a Republican? So far we have Randy and Bren...where's Keith? Think it's safe to assume that he won't be voting for this guy?
Maybe we better wait for confirmation...

I'll put you down for no as I assume that's what "looks like a Wisconsin version of Willard" means. You guys talk funny.
So far, 3 Democrats have publicly stated they're not voting for the Republican. Just in case some assumed otherwise, I guess. Good to know.

You rang?
Speed typing -- This guy looks like a Wisconsin version of Willard.

Thought I'd satisfy your curiosity Bob.

Mr. Hovde,
Would you explain to those like me who are not too sure, exactly what hedge fund managers do to make their money? Thanks.

Do you really think he'll answer, Brian? The real question is, do we want financial managers, who make their living by transferring 'pieces of cake' from one place to another and keeping a 'crumb' each time (Thank you Tom Wolfe for that definition!) to run our country? They create nothing, and some of them may have lost sight of the idea that people are not commodities.

Better than lawyers, or law profs.
