Is Doyle a Clintonite? Steve sure thinks so, and I may have found more evidence of it.

The website WisOpinion.com does a sorta-weekly feature called the Political Stock Report. This week, they've got Jim Doyle listed under "Mixed."

The Dem guv, off on a long-scheduled trade mission to Japan, misses an opportunity to host his prez candidate, John Kerry, as the senator preps in Spring Green for his first debate. The trip's timing also raises questions about how important the prez election is to the first-term guv, given Wisconsin's battleground status and the looming early November election date, which must have been known when the trip was in the works. Why would a good Dem want to be out of the state at this time in any presidential election year?

Why indeed?
