24. I agree about "honest conservatives"

I may disagree with them, but I believe they are sincere in their beliefs and they have some integrity.

That said, I don't see Walsh anywhere close to David Jolly or Adam Kinzinger. Walsh was a showboater when he first entered politics (probably long before) and he seems to always be looking for an angle, changing his stripes whenever it benefits him.

Of course if he DOES run for office as a Democrat, that would be a good thing, but I would always be leery of his motives.
