Masel Gets Speaking Spot After All

Ben Masel -- former Libertarian candidate for Congress, hemp advocate and now Dem primary opponent for U.S. Sen. Herb Kohl -- is getting a spot to speak at the state party's convention after all.

Masel had a little tiff with party officials this week after he wasn't listed on the agenda for speakers. Masel and party officials said state chair Joe Wineke had promised Masel a spot, but that pledge didn't find its way to organizers who set up the agenda.

Everything got worked out this week, and Masel got his spot right after lunch. Kohl was speaking at 10 a.m. to lead off Saturday's speakers.

"At least everyone will have a fresh attention span," Masel said.
