Did he really say that?

Joe did a great job of turning an attack on Gov. Doyle back at Mark Green in this article.

In essence - Doyle has accepted some money from out of Wisconsin - Joe responds:

As for the amount of out-of-state fundraising collected, Wineke said the vast majority of Doyle’s campaign funds come from within Wisconsin. Money received from out-of-state entities makes up about 14 percent of contributions the Doyle campaign received from January to June of 2005.“

Jim Doyle is a national leader in stem-cell research, reproductive rights [and] the issue of the right to vote,” Wineke said. “And it’s not a shock that Democrats across the country would support him — that’s not exactly something I would lose sleep over.”

Green himself is guilty of questionable campaign finance practices, Wineke alleged.

“Mark Green transferred $1.3 million from his federal account and my guess is 80 percent of that didn’t come from Wisconsin,” he said.

Great argument, well said and we do have the documentation to back it up - Way to go Joe.

How does Mark Green's campaign manager respond:

“Joe Wineke is a big fat liar,” Graul said

That sure is some great debate technique!
