12. Ed tried to feed a big softball pitch to Pat Quinn

but either Pat chose to look it in or swung and missed. Ed wanted Pat to claim that increasing taxes on the job creators does not increase unemployment, but rather, the opposite (which is clearly true... basic game theory would show that would be the case). But Pat either missed the signal or didn't want to go there. From watching the interview, it seemed like Pat was being diplomatic and didn't want to completely trash Walker and decided not to go there.

Sensible decision, but shows the inherent weakness of Democrats: a lack of a spine.
