In reply to the discussion: Kathleen Vinehout - the next Governor of Wisconsin! [View all]Kashkakat v.2.0
(1,940 posts)who are DIFFERENT FROM YOU. Both come from fairly homogenous places - KF from culturally progressive Dane Co & KV a more socially conservative area. Believe it or not a lot of people in Wis who consider themselves Dem can actually be - gasp - Catholic and/or have a somewhat nuanced view of abortion/birth control (eg Catholics who use birth control but support limitations on abortion. I myself am an agnostic-leaning semi-Pagan, but my views on abortion dont neatly pigeonhole into any one box.)
So fair question for KF & her Emilys List supporters - AND fpr Vinehout - how do you propose to work with people who are different from your usual constuencies - how will you represent a much more diverse constituency as governor?
And, WHAT WILL YOU DO - starting now - to keep this coalition strong and cohesive. Sadly I dont see this being asked by anyone.... Certainly wasnt on the list of questions the unions were asking of the candidates.
