ASHWAUBENON - Since first being sworn into office as Lt Governor in 2003, Barbara Lawton has had her eye on the state's top job.



"There's a variety of factors but including a way that people who control resources and thinking and press even that conspire whether intentionally or not that make it more of a challenge for women," she said."

1. There was a broad consensus, right or wrong, that she could not win.

4. trouble is now we may never know

same could be said for barrett

[Zynx]

5. The consensus was, at least among high ranking Democrats, that he was

a much stronger candidate.

[dembotoz]

6. ahhh-that fabled consensus

that is the trouble with being around for a long time.
Perhaps too long.
I have seen way too often when the consensus from madison meant that a
local candidate with some support would be strongly discouraged from running to be replaced by a clown with better madison ties.

7. it was a "broad consensus"

The Governor and his cronies reached a 'consensus' that the 'broad' shouldn't even run in the primary.

8. That's What I Think

And Obama's support to Barrett (who I like) didn't help. Kinda sent a message, dontcha think?

9. Sure did.

I know this stuff goes on with every election, but I still don't like it.

2. I think she should run for Herbie's seat.

SENATOR Lawton has a good ring to it, doesn't it? :D

3. Hell Yes!

Good idea Rev!

14. I'm on family leave, living in Fort.

My dad has alzheimer's, and I want to spend as much time with him while I can. I couldn't do that living 3 hours away and serving a fulltime church, so I'm taking at least a year off. Besides, church often sucks. ;)

I've been here since July, and love being back home. Life is good!

15. Glad life is good!

Sorry to hear about Dad. Warmest Christmas wishes to you and yours, Rev. :hug:
