An old friend of the program joined us this week to share his insight into what's happening in the race for Wisconsin governor.

Robert Costa of the Washington Post recently spent some time in Wisconsin following the Walker campaign. He tracked the Governor through Beloit, Janesville, and Madison and also spent some time interviewing people close to Rep. Paul Ryan about what his future plans might be.

We also inquired as to what D.C. Democrats are saying about Pat Quinn's chances to win re-election here in Illinois and asked what his reporting is telling him about whether "Romney 2016" is a real thing.

Check out our full conversation with Robert here:
