Governor Doyle’s DNC Speech used “Wisconsin” only 5 times.

Governor Jim Doyle’s DNC Convention speech (see transcript here), drafted by a salaried speech from the office of the Governor only metioned the word “Wisconsin” 5 times.  The speech also mentioned John McCain 3 times and references Bush/Cheney’s administration.

Even GAB Attorney Jon Becker, had a small statement regarding the speech:

“So if I was having my staff write a speech to read at a political convention, that would be bothersome to me”  -GAB Attorney Jonathan Becker

He cautioned that such a speech might not violate the ethics code if it focused on state issues and policy matters rather than partisan attacks.  Since he didn’t mention anything about Wisconsin’s rising unemployment, he really didn’t talk about state issues.  All he mentioned was a small gear company in Antigo, WI called Merit Gear.  Doyle just recently issued that company a $750,000 grant for expansion.
