I think it's jerky for Barrett to run for re-election.
I mean ... he wants to leave the job anyway so why bother run and cost the city a special election if he wins?
couldn't they just hold the special election at the same time as the August Primary/November Election, thus no significant extra cost (aside from putting the race on a ballot)?

As long as the law allows them the flexibility, the GAB always tries to schedule elections in a way that would be cheapest.
When Barrett ran in 2010, they had tentative plans to hold a primary for Mayor in Feb with the general election in April, both during the normally scheduled Spring elections.
I expect the timing would work out to use August and November.

I cannot find any source. Maybe that video is just to say he's in to help defeat Walker?

Are we sure it's not just a hoax? I would think an candidacy announcement video from him would consist, at least in part, of video announcing he's running, rather than clips from news appearances and speeches.

Copying from the video, since it should be deleted:
Of course it's fake. I made it. And I'm not even that good at this stuff.
But I thought this site missed out on April Fool's day. (I'm looking at you, RParker). Consider it a slightly belated prank for the site.
But no, Feingold is not running. This is just an intro vid they did for him at a Democratic Party meeting in Milwaukee, slightly modified.

La Follette will probably fail to make the ballot. From his Facebook page:
LAST FEW DAYS
I have begun to receive some Nom Papers in the mail--
But, most of them only have 1 or 2 names on them; this way we will never get the 3,000 we need. Even if 300 people sent them this way it would only be about 500 names.
I feel bad that I did not make it more clear that folks had to collect 25 or more to reach our goal. I am very sorry.
I have been getting 100+ myself each day but even this will not reach 3,000 without your help.
Please download the papers from my New website--douglafollette.com get as many names as you can and after signing at the bottom mail them as soon as possible [no later than Sat morn] to my address in wording at the top.
Thank you, Doug
Also, Gladys Huber should piss up a f*cking rope.

There really was no need to run Huber for the WI GOP...
I'm okay with campaign tricks like this, but I can't respect dumb ones likes this one in particularly.

it seems goofy for the Republicans to field a candidate here instead of putting that candidate in the general election to lower the bar for Walker in the recall

Well their stated reason is to make sure all the primaries are on the same day, but that doesn't make sense because there is already a primary on this day.
It's only 2000 signatures to get on the ballot(up to 4000 can be submitted), which is completely manageable if you have any sort of campaign structure.

Commander forward--
What is a Campaign Structure?
I don't know. Sorry I'm not good with this Facebook stuff.
I need two more signatures. Unfortunately we are not getting any more by hanging around the Jamba Juice on State Street at 3 AM.
Thank you, Doug

I haven't seen any numbers from Barrett yet. He'll qualify, but it sounds like he isn't turning them in until later today. They have until 5:00 p.m.

Apparently Barrett's campaign turned in over 7,000. By law, the GAB can only accept up to 4,000.
I'm seeing on Twitter that La Follette supposedly has 3,300 signatures as well. It seems like all 4 managed to get on the ballot.
