re: #18 Patricia Kayden

Is a police department going to come forward and agree that this badge is legitimate? Or is Walker going to perjure himself in a losing bid for a Senate seat. It feels as if Republicans threw up a popular Black athlete without vetting him just because Warnock is Black. Kind of like when they put up the odious Alan Keyes against then Senator Obama.

It was the Republican voting base who selected Walker among the 6 candidates running in the primary, of whom two had actual but limited political experience. I don’t know why there weren’t others with stronger credentials in the race. Alan Keyes was selected by the GOP hierarchy and not Illinois voters; Jack Ryan (ex Mr. 7 of 9) won the GOP primary but dropped out.
