Johnson says he'll continue contrast of career politician vs. business man against Feingold
Fresh off his win of the GOP nomination for U.S. Senate, Ron Johnson said he will continue to make the case to Wisconsin voters that they have a choice between a career politician and successful businessman in his race with Russ Feingold.
"We will certainly do everything we can to unmake this maverick, individual label that he's put on himself," Johnson said of the Middleton Dem.
"When his vote is needed he’s right with the liberal wing of his party, and he’s a very dependable ally of Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi."
Asked if he would be a reliable vote for Republicans in the Senate or would break with the party on any issues, Johnson demurred.
"That’s kind of a hypothetical, and what's past is past. We’re looking to the future," Johnson said, adding he'll vote with anybody who is dedicated to cutting government spending and the nation's debt.
