RED, BLUE AND YOU

Okay, you officially win this debate. Not because I’ve been proven completely wrong in my first take on Walker/Spann but because you’ve definitely persuaded me it’s much more complex and more interesting than my original impression. I don’t mean to be wishy-washy, but I’m still thinking about this. Memo to Weisberg/Noah/Lewis: I still think you were wrong but not so wrong as to owe me an apology. There’s a lot of room for doubt and debate here, but the easy equation of Walker’s background and his eventual politics is just that: too easy. The letters page now contains a new swath of points from all sides. I’m constantly amazed by the knowledge and intelligence of my readers, but this time, you surpassed yourselves.
