Malkin is usually more adept than this - everyone needs to be vetted because it shows the weak spots. If only the Left would actually undergo an actual vetting process...
Indeed.
Do we vet our own candidates in the primaries and caucuses, or allow the Dems and Liberal Media to vet them in the general?
The answer, which Malkin is doing the service of stating, is obvious. Get all the controversial stuff out early, let the candates learn from it and having to address it, and for the one who effectively does so and survives be able to dismiss it as “old news” in the Fall.
This applied to ALL candidates, not just Walker. Anything that doesn’t kill them in the primaries only makes them stronger in the general.
We would not have ended up with Marilyn's Boyfriend or Peanut Brain or Clintoon or ObieGoneKenobie.
