I don't buy the BS that Barbara Lawton is trying to sell Wisconsinites.
There is no question that she planned to be the Democrat candidate for governor, then she did a dramatic about-face and suddenly dropped out of the race.
This, of course, comes on the heels of the Democrats using reporter Dan Bice as a stooge to recruit Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett to run.
Lawton provides only an extremely vague explanation for quitting the race.
From the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel:
Lt. Gov. Barbara Lawton wouldn't say Tuesday why she dropped out of the race for governor, but said health considerations and pressure from other Democrats were not factors in her decision.
She said she was not pressured by aides to President Barack Obama who would like to see Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett succeed Gov. Jim Doyle.
"My decision pivots on no one else but me," she said.
...Lawton's campaign was active as recently as Saturday, but she abruptly announced Monday she was reversing her August decision to run for governor. The announcement left no Democrats in the first wide-open race for governor since 1982. Barrett said Monday he intends to decide soon about whether he would get in the race.
Lawton didn't talk to reporters Monday. She said in an interview Tuesday she quit the race for "personal reasons" but declined to provide specifics.
Lawton comes off like such a ditz.
On Saturday, she's a candidate and on Monday she's not, even though she has absolutely no competition.
Her "deeply personal" line serves to raise questions, not eliminate them.
Why would she voluntarily allow herself to appear so flighty?
Obama and the Dems must have offered her a very sweet deal to drop out. Maybe thug Rahm Emanuel threatened her. Who knows?
Lawton's not talking.
