GOP skeptical about Doyle's reasoning

August 17, 2009 By WRN Contributor

The head of the Republican Party of Wisconsin has some doubts about Governor Doyle's reasons for not running for a third term in office.

RPW Chairman Reince Priebus says there are plenty of reasons for the Governor to get out now, such as his low approval rating, the budget mess, and the use of one time federal funding that will have to be replaced in the next budget. With those in mind, Priebus finds it very unlikely that Doyle would says he's not running because he thinks governors should only serve two terms in office.

Priebus says that explanation is a sham, since Doyle has continued to raise campaign funds throughout his current term in office.

Priebus says Republicans were looking forward to running against Doyle. However, he says they'll also enjoy competing for an open seat.
