    If someone else ran they would dig up the skeletons in their closet too. We all have flaws. The difference is how how we respond to those flaws.

    For instance, Pete Kegsbreath has a crusaders tattoo which isn’t the problem I have with him. The problem is his white supremacist rhetoric and actions. That is what makes the tattoo the icing on the cake.

    For Planter his rhetoric is obviously way more thoughtful. Its pro working class and anti elite. That makes his tattoo a red herring in his case.

    Its the best chance we have at this time and if he changes when he is in office then we shift our strategy again. However given his recent conversations, I find that hard to believe that someone who has such a intelligent working class centered politics is somehow an op.
