Russ is as strong as we have. If he loses, maybe I will accept your label. Strictly speaking, I always resist labels.
Divide and conquer is surely Walker's " thing ". We are totally gerrymander here as well. When we go national we go blue. So it just doesn't make sense that in state politics we are "collectively dumb" and red always win.
