Opportunity for Republican support of a Libertarian Party candidate?

From Eric Dondero:

State Rep. Donna Seidel, (Wausau) is a leading Democrat in the Wisconsin House. She's been in office since 2004, and is regarded as one of the State's most staunchest liberal voices. Now Libertarian Party member Jim Maas of Rothschild has stepped up to challenge her.

From WassauDailyHerald.com:

“I am willing to provide another choice to the voters of the 85th Assembly District,” Maas said.

Maas is the Vice-Chairman of the Libertarian Party of Wisconsin and a prominent Medical Marijuana backer in the State. He's also a staunch fiscal conservative. From his press release:

"The constitution says that the budget should be balanced and it's not balanced... We're $5.2 billion in the hole and there's no light at the end of the tunnel."

The Herald goes on to report:

No Republican has yet announced candidacy in the 85th Assembly District, which Seidel has represented since her election in 2004. The district covers all of Wausau and Schofield, part of Rothschild and much of northeastern Marathon County.

Seidel has received some coverage lately for being one of the first prominent Democrats to back the candidacy of fellow Democrat Julie Lassa for Congress, against libertarian Republican Sean Duffy; the race for the Jim Obey seat.
