Wiley and McCarthy clash over kingmaker funding
Wisconsin senators Wiley and McCarthy argued in a Senate debate over an endorsement of Rep. Glenn Davis for Wiley's Senate seat. Wiley charged kingmakers backed a $150,000 fund to finance Davis, while McCarthy replied that rank and file Republicans repudiated Wiley.
