Tom Barrett, who has lost to Scott Walker twice, is considering yet another run for Wisconsin governor

Believe it or not, Tom Barrett, a longtime career politician who is currently the Mayor of Milwaukee, is considering whether or not to launch what would be his fourth gubernatorial bid in Wisconsin:
Yep, (Milwaukee) Mayor Tom Barrett is thinking about running for governor. 

For a fourth time. 

Sources confirmed this week that the fourth-term mayor has been sounding out his team of advisers about entering the Democratic primary for governor later this year. If he runs, he would need to submit his nomination papers by June 1.
Barrett has run for governor three previous times. Two of them, one in a general election and one in a recall election, ended in losses to Republican Scott Walker, and the third ended in a Democratic primary loss to Jim Doyle.

I'm not from Wisconsin, but it's inherently clear to me that Kelda Roys is a far better gubernatorial candidate than Tom Barrett ever could be. Kelda has real plans to fix Wisconsin's problems, including ideas to expand health care access, keep guns out of the hands of criminals, improve Wisconsin's public education system, end pay discrimination against women, and expand broadband internet access in Wisconsin.
