"La Follette returned to Wisconsin, where he served as a judge. In 1891, he refused a bribe offered by a powerful Wisconsin Republican."
Wasn't it LaFollette's brother that was the judge, not Bob himself?
- Right. This entry needs serious work. I've started on it, but it needs more.
[edit] pronunciation
how the hell do you pronounce his name--Jaysscholar 22:09, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

- That's not correct, it's not Lafayette, it is La Follette, La Fall Ette. Pm06420 15:47, 29 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Re: POV
That La Follette is WI's favorite son is hardly controversial. In WI politics, the other biggies were Proxmire, Belle Case La Follette, Father Groppi, Phil and Robert La Follette Jr., Dodge (as in, get out of Dodge), Randall, and Vilas. Oh, and McCarthy. Hands down (do a google) you'll find Fighting Bob is the one. - Manski
[edit] Nickname
wasn't it "battling bob"?
>> No. Where did you get that? Definitely Fighting Bob.
