Kevin Conroy Mulls Governor’s Run

What?!?  It's not THAT Kevin Conroy...

Well color me bummed by this news then.

After two high-profile Democrats have bowed out of the race for governor, a new potential candidate is starting to emerge

Kevin Conroy, CEO of Exact Sciences Corp. in Madison, is actively considering getting in the race, said Joel Brennan, Conroy's brother-in-law and a former campaign manager for Tom Barrett's runs for governor and Milwaukee mayor.

Conroy is preparing campaign filings, interviewing staff and developing fund-raising plans, Brennan said Wednesday. He said a final decision on getting in the race had not been made.

Brennan called Conroy a "progressive with a pro-business strategy." He has been considering a run since shortly after Gov. Jim Doyle announced in August he would not seek a third term.

Must say, what is this now four or five Democrats in this state who are multi-millionaires?  Can we stop the Republicans are the party of the rich talk already?  Kohl, Kagen, Leinenkugel (rumored), and now this guy; no wonder I laugh whenever Zach W. at Blogging Blue goes off on Terrance Wall being a rich guy running for the Senate.  Apparently he keeps forgetting we have Herb Kohl in the Senate already representing this state.

That's okay, a lot of us do as well.

    Democrat or Republican, this guy is by far a better candidate than Barrett, Walker or Neuman. He's just what this state needs, somebody who has run a business (or 3) and is a pro-everybody guy.
