UPDATE:  Obey to join DC lobbying firm.


I thought onetime campaign guru Bill Dixon was long past his Hunter Thompson outlaw days. But he and Dave Zweifel of the Capital Times have teamed up to promote a fresh new face as a Democratic candidate to run against Gov. Scott Walker in a recall.


Dave Obey.


Really.


It does not appear to be a joke. Well, not an intentional one, anyway.


Am I the only one hoping the Dems field a candidate younger than 73?


If Obey wants to get back into politics, why doesn't he challenge Rep. Sean Duffy?
