AG Candidate Gets Boost from Politician Most Likely to be Indicted

OK. Whose idea was it for Kathleen Falk to feature a picture of herself with Jim Doyle in her campaign ad, hers or his?

I mean, it’s a good deal for him, getting his mug all over the airways on someone else’s dime, but why would a candidate for the state's top law enforcement post want to highlight her cozy relationship with the Wisconsin politician most likely to be indicted?

The Governor says his cameo appearance in the Falk commercial should not be misconstrued as an endorsement of her candidacy. And just because Doyle recruited Falk to run for Attorney General and used his influence to initiate a considerable flow of money to her campaign, doesn’t mean Falk’s ability to investigate and prosecute any future charges brought against the Governor or members of his Administration would be compromised.

Remember what Kathleen Falk said about here decision to run for Attorney General:

"Nobody can tell me what to do - remember, I'm a pretty independent person."

Of course she later told the crowd at a Sheboygan Bar Association forum that Doyle privately encouraged her to run for Attorney General to which Doyle’s flak brillantly responded:

"Any private conversation they had was confidential."

Is that kind of like Attorney-Client privilege?
