Finally!  I hope this actually goes somewhere.  I'd love to see some new blood take over this seat:

In a novel approach to bipartisanship, two Concordia University professors said Monday that they are planning a collaborative campaign for Congress.

Political scientist Jeff Walz, 40, will seek the 5th District congressional seat as a Democrat.

Historian James Burkee, 39, will run as a Republican.

But the two scholars, who have joined forces in recent years as speakers and commentators, will appear together on the campaign trail and combine their promotional efforts.

"We are going to run against each other but with one another, if that makes sense," Burkee said.

Each will be vying for the U.S. House seat held by longtime Republican lawmaker Jim Sensenbrenner of Menomonee Falls.

It's an interesting approach... and I'm not sure it will work.  But, at least it seems to be a concerted effort to break the stranglehold that Sensenbrenner has on that seat, that he realistically no longer deserves.  At the very least, it might make him actually try to justify to the voters why he should get to go back to Congress.
