We agree. This wasn't a smart choice.
Early voting has begun in Wisconsin, and Mary Burke, Democratic challenger for the governor's seat, was at UW-Madison,
rallying voters. She told supporters that she was starting her days at 4:30 in the morning and asked them for the same kind of enthusiasm, urging them to "be part of something incredible."
At the same time, the Republican National Committee sent in what must pass for the big guns for them in support of Gov. Scott Walker, and, well, she was maybe less than motivating.
Speaking at a Republican Party field office in Waukesha, the co-chair of the Republican National Committee talked up the closeness of the governor's race and the need to get Walker supporters to the polls.
Sharon Day, the co-chair, told the audience, "It's not going to be an easy election, it's a close election. Like I said, much closer than I can even understand why.
"I don't want to say anything about your Wisconsin voters but, some of them might not be as sharp as a knife."
Just a hint for the RNC, you might not want to let your contempt for the average voter show like that. On the other hand, there's plenty of evidence that Republicans in Wisconsin are masochists given who they've elected. So maybe that's the kind of motivation that works for them.

There is one thing we can agree on with the RNC: If you vote for Scott Walker, you are stupid.
