But how people were perceiving them.
I live in a red area of the State, and to hear the voters around here talk about him, you would have assumed he was a communist.
Again look at their resumes and they are eerily similar.

I am not comparing their votes. Believe me, I know Cruz is no Obama.

In the end I am pretty sure it will be Walker, but don't underestimate Cruz.
