APPLETON (WKOW)
-- The candidates in Wisconsin's U.S. Senate race were on the campaign
trail in Appleton on Friday.
Democrat Tammy
Baldwin and Republican Tommy Thompson separately addressed the Disabled
American Veterans on Friday.
Baldwin addressed the
group first, discussing the importance of taking care of America's veterans.
"We all know
full well that budget cuts are necessary, but I believe they should not come at
the expense of returning servicemen and women," Baldwin said.
Later in the day,
Thompson agreed, by pledging his loyalty.
"I will always
be there whether you support me or not, because it is a commitment of mine as a
citizen to give my best to those people who have given so much," Thompson
said.
The latest Marquette
University Law School poll released Wednesday showed Baldwin with a 48 percent
to 44 percent lead over Thompson. She held a nine-point lead in the same poll
two weeks ago.
The two candidates will
face off in their second debate on Thursday, October 18th.
