US Senate Race -- which GOP candidate (Johnson or Westlake) is best suited to defeat Russ Feingold?

Wisconsin Eye conducted personal interviews with each of the three US Senate Candidates to assist us in deciding who we'll vote for in the GOP primary election September 14.  Please take time now to listen to all three and share with your friends and neighbors.  The GOP candidates have never debated each other, so interviews such as this serve as primary vetting research for us:

09.01.10  Campaign 2010: Dave Westlake for U.S. Senate
Republican U.S. Senate candidate David Westlake said he will soon propose a new “consumption tax” that would replace income and other federal taxes, be easier for taxpayers to understand, and all but abolish the Internal Revenue Service. In a Campaign 2010 interview in the WisconsinEye studio on September 1, Westlake said his new tax plan will provide one more reason for voters in the September 14 primary to back him instead of Oshkosh businessman Ron Johnson. Westlake predicted that he will beat the better-funded Johnson in the primary and said he looks forward to being the GOP nominee against Democratic Sen. Russ Feingold in the November 2 election.

08.30.10  Campaign 2010: Ron Johnson for U.S. Senate
In a Campaign 2010 interview in the WisconsinEye studio on Aug. 30, Republican U.S. Senate candidate Ron Johnson said Democrats are trying to “demonize” small businesses by repeatedly criticizing help his Oshkosh business got from local government in the 1980s. Johnson also again said he has never lobbied for any type of government aid for his medical plastics manufacturing company. Johnson also discussed immigration reform, the withdrawal of combat troops in Iraq, the war in Afghanistan, and his comment that “sunspots” may be to blame for severe weather that some blame on global warming.

V.  Democrat Incumbent Russ Feingold

09.01.10 Campaign 2010: U.S. Senator Russ Feingold
In a Campaign 2010 interview on September 1, Democratic U.S. Senator Russ Feingold said he is an “underdog” in his campaign to win a fourth term on November 2. Feingold also said his expected Republican opponent in November, Ron Johnson, is part of a group of conservative Republicans nationally whose goal is to “destroy” President Obama. On another campaign issue, Feingold said Johnson’s credibility was badly damaged when he said businesses – and not governments – create jobs, since Johnson’s Oshkosh business got help from a local government in the 1980s. Johnson may not have personally lobbied for the government help, but signed the application for it, Feingold added.
