Let slip the dogs of war

Waukesha County Board Chairman Jim Dwyer is expected to announce his candidacy for Waukesha County Executive on monday. Lest anyone think think this will be a nice, friendly political campaign, I discovered someone in Madison this morning googling "Vrakas arrest".

Look for both campaigns to get plenty of outside help as the Democrats would love to place one of their own in the supposedly non-partisan position, just as Republicans have certainly enjoyed controlling the County Executive office in Milwaukee County. I think people in Waukesha will be shocked at the amount of money spent in the campaign.

Memo to the Vrakas Campaign: don't make any stupid pledges regarding campaign spending or campaign rhetoric. You'll find the promise being enforced on only one side: yours.
