I forget his name right now but he was at the Town Hall meeting last night at Serb Hall.

All four declared Democratic candidates were there. Walker was invited but declined. The other Republican who was invited showed up.

He says he is a Lincoln Republican and criticized Walker for being extremely conservative and says his party has been hijacked. Much of what he said was quite progressive. The crowd was as cordial to him as to the other candidates.

His candidacy guarantees that Walker Republicans will have to vote for Walker rather than cross over in the primary to mess with the Democratic results.
