maybe take Cora Campbell's place. He couldn't be any worse, right?

I have a lot of friends up here who have been pushing this unity thing for months now, and they all assure me that Walker is a good man who will keep his personal social beliefs out of the mix. I think they're probably right. If this ticket wins, he will owe too much to the Democrats to cross them. I actually did some temporary work for him way back in the late '90s or early 2000s, back when he was just doing legal work, and he was a really nice guy, easy to work for.

Of course, I am disappointed that we have to go this route, but in the end it may work to our advantage. It might give a boost to some of the anti-Parnell down-ticket folks, who are mostly Democrats.

Pragmatism doesn't come naturally to me, but in this instance, I see no other choice.
