I live in Ohio, and K-Suck (working in conjunction with the A-hole in Wisconsin) turned a lot cops and firefighters against the Republican Party a couple years ago by passing that union-busting bill (which was later struck down definitively by the voters). Cops and firefighters have generally been a very reliable Republican-leaning bunch, but I know that the vast, VAST majority of them, at least here in Ohio, have vowed to vote Republicans out of power.
I say let's remind them how they felt a couple of years ago when K-Suck and the other Republicans around the country took a big, steamy dump right on their faces.
