Article: Waukesha County DA may take on Doyle GOP leaders call Bucher party's best chance to win attorney general race

District Attorney Paul Bucher on Friday appeared on the verge of announcing a bid for state attorney general, as Republican leaders called Bucher their leading contender to challenge Democratic incumbent Jim Doyle.

Two of the governor's closest allies, Rep. Scott Jensen and James Klauser, met late Friday with Bucher in his office. Bucher said he had already talked to the governor.

If Bucher runs, he will have to give up his job as Waukesha County's district attorney, a post he has held since 1988. Both jobs are up for election this fall. He could not run for both posts, and his term expires next January.
