I have read this thread several times in an effort to understand the motive for the move on Dan. I have come to the conclusion that Walt seeks the power and influence of Dan's elective post. I have also conjectured that this campaign of personal annihilation was launched simply as an early attempt to vacillate the electorate. Walt, I appreciate your early election cycle planning and look forward to your run for office. I want you to know that you have my support and vote. I am putting a sign in my back yard today.
Louisianna crab Dan, Looks like you are gone, a one-term wonder, sorry, get ready. Vote for Walt! (Vote early and often)

PS, Obama taught me this.
