re: #31 Hecuba’s daughter

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.

Back when a sex scandal could actually wreck a GOP candidate’s career. Or they had the scruples to withdraw their candidacy.
