Baldwin, Thompson spar over health care in separate La Crosse speeches

Dem U.S. Senate candidate Tammy Baldwin defended her support of the Affordable Care Act in a speech to the Wisconsin Counties Association Monday and criticized opponent Tommy Thompson for his plans to repeal the law. Thompson, meanwhile, struck back at Baldwin's attacks, saying he was a proven reformer who has stayed true to Wisconsin and that Baldwin would simply pay lip service to reforming Washington, D.C. The two gave separate speeches at the second day of the convention in La Crosse. (WISPOLITICS, 9/26)
