14. I heard Tom Barrett being interviewed on NPR

They described the ad as someone's hunting rifle just disappearing from their hands, saying that Tom Barrett voted against deer hunting rifles. Funded by the NRA.

To be honest he didn't come across as a very strong candidate and it was worrisome. I was really hoping the hate for Walker would carry the day.
