Ron Johnson receives GOP backing in U.S. Senate race | Hudson Star-Observer | Hudson, Wisconsin: "Ron Johnson said he went into the Republican state convention hoping that the delegates would not endorse anyone – and he’s surprised they endorsed him for the U.S. Senate.

Johnson got 64 percent of the final vote Sunday over Madison developer Terrence Wall and Watertown businessman Dave Westlake.

Former state Commerce Secretary Dick Leinenkugel withdrew, saying a bitter primary would result in the re-election of incumbent Democrat Russ Feingold."

Certainly surprising!
