Democratic Governor Candidates start to Surface.

I have to admit, I really like the first set of possible Democratic candidates to challenge Walker.

I’m referring to the those listed in the first paragraph of the following jsonline Dan Bice story:

Meeting face to face with officials from Wisconsin's three district councils of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees were former Dane County Executive Kathleen Falk, former two-term U.S. Rep. Steve Kagen of Appleton and state Sen. Kathleen Vinehout of Alma.

No! The unions can do all they want to fine tune their own endorsement process, but they will not be picking the candidate, as some drone Republicans would assume. 

Check out Sen. Kathleen Vinehout’s spirit in this Ed Schultz interview:

I’m less excited about the next two, but by no means, unhappy with the next two:

Richard Abelson, executive director of AFSCME's Council 48 in Milwaukee, said the labor group also conducted endorsement interviews by phone with two more Democrats: Assembly Minority Leader Peter Barca of Kenosha and state Sen. Tim Cullen of Janesville.

My old buddy Sen. Jon Erpenbach has not decided yet.
