Peg Runs with a Spiteful Vengeance

Falk to say she's a candidate
Dane County executive to challenge attorney general Lautenschlager

What if incumbent AG Peg Lautenschlager turns-away Kathleen Falk in the Dem primary next September?

Unlikely, sure. But that result would nearly quarantee either Republican, Paul Bucher or J.B. Van Hollen, becomes Wisconsin's new Attorney General in November 2006.

Soon after Falk collects the clip file on her statewide announcement for AG, expect the next round of news stories to include the push and pull of getting Lautenschlager to give way to Falk and retreat from office. Peg can't escape the question and off-the-record Democrats will provoke her at every stop.

Probably won't happen until about March, after the next WECF reports are due, and Governor Doyle finally calls ex-DOA pal Marc Marotta to broker a job for the embattled former U.S. Attorney and soon-to-be ex-attorney general.
