Kicked off La Crosse Talk PM talking about whether there should be crowds at political debates, as the Mandela Barnes-Ron Johnson faceoff had the night before.

Later in the show, we discussed how politicians are prepared, yet not quite prepared enough, to answer softball, “Say something nice about your opponent?” question.

In between that, we hit on the state’s $4.3 billion budget surplus and the politics around doing nothing with that taxpayer money.
