The remainder of 2010 is going to be big for Wisconsin politics. Both Gov. Jim Doyle and U.S. Rep. David Obey, D-Wis., will not be seeking re-election, leaving two of the state's most vital races completely up in the air. Additionally, Republicans are determined to finally defeat U.S. Sen.

With a long primary season culminating in September, an economy in dire need of reform and a roster of candidates ranging from the seasoned to the novice, the road to November is sure to be eventful.

The ongoing debate over the ultimate college experience continues to inspire death matches across campus.
