Remark insulting Wisconsin voters could cut into Scott Walker's chances
In a tight election it’s common to flatter voters or promise them the earth, but a top Republican supporting governor Scott Walker’s campaign in Wisconsin has tried a novel approach: insulting them.
“I don’t want to say anything about your Wisconsin voters,” Sharon Day, co-chair of the Republican National Committee, told an audience, “but some of them might not be as sharp as a knife.”
Parachuting into a battleground state to tell voters they’re not very bright and should vote for Walker suggested Day might not be the sharpest tool in the GOP box.
Bill Glauber of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel first reported the comments, made at a party field office in Waukesha, and they swiftly made headlines. Day must have “missed the memo” on charming voters, wrote the Huffington Post.
