Maybe it can be put another way. "Who is the least competent person you have ever voted for?" -- nm - Roger More Oct 18, 09:45 2
- Technically myself for coroner. I don't think I've ever voted for someone *IN*competent. Thinking about *least* competent. -- nm - Dano Oct 18, 10:10

I was just thinking how I couldn't understand how even Republicans could vote for Walker, so I tried to turn the question on myself. - Dano Oct 18, 09:25 16

  - I mean, that's really the issue right? To Dano's question, in today's environment I would just never vote for a republican. The majority of - pmb Oct 18, 09:40 5
    - When I'm choosing a candidate, I value their individual merit more than the letter behind their name. -- nm - Strongbad Oct 18, 09:51 4
      - Choosing to run under the banner of the current Republican Party doesn’t reflect on individual merit, or lack thereof? - znufrii, official Gen-Xer Oct 18, 10:42 1
        
        I agree, but it's one factor of many. -- nm - Strongbad Oct 18, 10:52
      - Historically I'm with you. I have split tickets in the past. We're not in a normal world right now. - pmb Oct 18, 10:01
