I just looked at the requirements.
Near as I can tell, anyone 18 or older and a legitimate resident of WI can run for governor.
The filing deadline is July 11th 2006.
I told my wife that I'm thinking about running as a democrat.
I'll make Doyle look like a moderate.
I'll get on the soap box and preach a bunch of extreme leftism.
My platform:
- Guns are bad.
- Gay marriage is good.
- Super-ultra-mega-giga-welfare; free stuff to folks who didn't earn it. (Big votes here.)
- Limitless spending on anything loosely related to education.
- Free health care to everyone without any restriction whatsoever. (Just send the bill to us.)
- ILLEGALS!!! - The more the merrier!
- Any other leftist wet-dream I can think up between now and then.
Ambition being to split the idealogues off of the Doyle ticket.
How much money do I need to raise in order to innundate the Dem strongholds with billboards, mailings, and radio appearances?
