1. I've been asking that for a while
One of the best guesses would be to ask Pat Kreitlow, a state senator, to run.

Donna Siedel is another great option. http://www.legis.state.wi.us/assembly/asm85/news/

Dave said he has 6 people in mind.

3. Everything I've read about his leaving Congress
suggested that he faced a tough race in the fall. If these sources are right, I'd expect that the seat might go Repuke.

Get adjusted to it, folks. Six months from now, there's going to be a lot of sad folks around here. I just hope the tea partiers put into office make total asses of themselves for the next two years, and the country will be ready for some solid progressives when Barack Obama heads the ticket again.
