Who Says RPW Lacks a Sense of Humor?

From a morning press release via email...

MADISON - The Republican Party of Wisconsin has placed ads in several state newspapers seeking individuals willing to be the Democratic nominee for Wisconsin Governor.

“Not just anybody is going to want to defend what the Democrats have done to the economy and tax climate in our state,” said Mark Jefferson, Executive Director of the Republican Party of Wisconsin. “Finding someone willing to continue the destructive policies of Jim Doyle requires casting a wide net.”

The ad states:  “Wanted: Individual willing to run as the Democratic Nominee for Governor of Wisconsin. Must be willing to defend tax hikes, eroding business climate, and higher vehicle insurance rates. No experience necessary, but willingness to take direction from WEAC and trial lawyers a must. Deep pockets of personal wealth a plus. Call Mike at 255-5172. Paid for by the Republican Party of Wisconsin, Cathy Stepp, Treasurer.”

“Running for elected office can be a difficult challenge, and we wanted potential Democratic candidates to know exactly what was expected of them,” Jefferson said. “It’s best to go into such a campaign with your eyes open.”

Ads are said to be running in newspapers in Green Bay, Madison, Wausau, Wisconsin Rapids, Platteville, and Racine.

Here's a picture of it I cut from what RPW says is the Wisconsin State Journal.

In related news, former Madison Mayor Paul Soglin blogs that he will not run.  (Apparently a post he wrote on Friday was misconstrued.)

    I have a better idea for an agenda. How about a Democrat willing to return the party to its roots as a defender of individual rights, and limited constitutional government. Someone willing to stand up to the special interests, as Jefferson and Jackson did in their day.

    And how about casting the net wider, and look for Senate and Congressional candidates who, like Jackson, are willing to take on the big bankers, and end the Federal Reserve, which funds our increasingly oppressive and spendthrift government, which causes booms and busts, which helps concentrate wealth in the hands of the super rich and politically connected.

    Time for the Democrats to return to their roots.
