Lawton stumbles at the starting gate
Barbara Lawton, the purest of the pure when it come to ethics and campaign finance, gets off to a bad start in the 2010 race for govenor.
The Journal Sentinel reports:
Democratic Lt. Gov. Barbara Lawton is officially in the race for governor...The announcements came moments after Democratic Gov. Jim Doyle made official that he would not seek a third term next year.
Lawton is running but is not conducting interviews, said Ben Nuckels, Lawton's chief of staff.
"Today is Governor Doyle's day and the lieutenant governor wishes him well," Nuckels said. "The lieutenant governor intends to run for governor, and she will have more to say about that in the near future."
So she's not doing interviews on "Governor Doyle's day," but her taxpayer-paid chief of staff is making the announcement that she will run?
Anybody see a problem with that?
