Conservatives in Wisconsin are extraordinarily blessed this year. We have two very strong candidates for Governor.

Scott Walker is a good guy.  He has many of the right positions.  He has done a great job running one of Wisconsin's most difficult counties.  He has a good record in the assembly prior.  By all accounts hes a great republican and an asset to our state.

The bottom line is that this primary is not about good vs. evil, right vs. wrong, but more so about good verses better.
Mark Neumann has a longer, better record on the issues that are important to me and my family than does Scott Walker. I know he will stand on principle, for he did so when representing me in congress.

Mark is not a career politician, but rather in the best American tradition, a successful businessman and entrepreneur who sees a lack of leadership in our State and responds by offering his service to our state, as he did our country before.  A citizen statesman is always preferable, in my mind, to a career politician. On principle alone, I will never vote for a career politician if a person with a successful career in the private sector is running.
Mark has been a staunch supporter of the right to life.  As a adoptive parent, I know how sickening it is when children are slaughtered in the name of "women’s rights" when millions of potential parents would more than love to raise those children.  This critical moral issue is important to me. especially at the state level, where this issue OUGHT to be fought.

I live in the county with the highest unemployment rate in the country.  I work in Beloit where one out of every six adults you greet on the street is unemployed.  Where there is competition between hundreds of people, many with college education, to find a job at the local fast food franchise.  We don't just need a experienced administrator at this time. We need someone who knows business intimately enough to attract it.  We need someone who has built a business and has created jobs.  We don't need to elect a Governor for whom Wisconsin is just a stepping stone to Washington; we need someone who is in Wisconsin to build Wisconsin.  And, sorry Mr. Walker, we need a Governor who won't outsource jobs to Ohio.

The bottom line for me and my family is that "good" isn't good enough anymore.  We need the best, and I believe Mark Neumann is that best.

Now I totally want a trunk monkey.
