Our view: Thompson best choice for Senate
Tribune editorial board
If you want to see the corrupting influence of big money on politics — especially when big money flows from outside of our state — look no further than the race for U.S. Senate in Wisconsin.
If you believed all the paid campaign blather, you would be convinced that two of the most evil creatures on earth are running to represent us.
Of course, the candidates haven’t exactly been shy about calling each other out, either.
Regardless, we think U.S. Rep. Tammy Baldwin and former Gov. Tommy Thompson are bright, honorable public servants who would represent this state with honor.
Clearly, there’s more that separates Tammy and Tommy than a vowel.
They are different people with different strengths.
