The problem is that the Governor's job won't be his. Mr. Neumann's could instead challenge Russ Feingold for a Senate seat (that should have become his in 1998) and abandoning his Gubernatorial ambitions. The reasons are...
- The Walker forces are too strong. He's better funded, has majority support of the party leadership and the GOP rank and file.
- Mr. Walker has a very real chance of beating Mr. Barrett - you could cast more momentum his way, by throwing your support to the Walker campaign.
- Neumann is the only still credible candidate with Washington experience and a chance to beat Feingold.
- He lost to Mr. Feingold by a slim margin last time around. Feingold and other stalwarts in his party, are more vulnerable today.
