The Senate co-chair of the Joint Finance Committee says one of the budget scenarios is that the Legislature would send to Gov. Jim Doyle a deficit fix that the guv doesn't fully agree with.

But while Sen. Mark Miller, D-Monona, said that was a possibility, he suggested an agreement among all the parties was preferable.

Miller said the major sticking points remaining are the amount to be realized from tobacco securitization, a delay in school aid payments and transpo bonding.

Also on "WisOpinion: The Show," presented by The Capital Times:

--Miller remembers the days when his mother -- former legislator and Dem activist Midge Miller -- played a big role in Eugene McCarthy's presidential campaign;

--And the Cap Times' John Nichols and DailyTakes.com's Brian Fraley agree that the Democratic race is over for Hillary Clinton but disagree on how John McCain will fare in November.
