Ed Gillespie: Ron Johnson Has Edge in Wis. GOP Primary

Gillespie, a GOP strategist and former head of the Republican National Committee, not only says Johnson has the momentum in the run-up to the primary but also notes the frailty of Feingold’s hold on a seat that Democrats had taken for granted. What’s more, Gillespie says, the contest is one of several in which Republicans are poised to advance toward taking over the Senate.
