He'd join Madison-area developer Terrence Wall, Watertown businessman David Westlake and maybe former governor and national health secretary Tommy Thompson if he decides to jump in. Thompson would still be the favorite -- even with Leinenkugel's entrance into the field, political observers said.

Good to see that Republican energy.
