What happens in Georgia Dec. 6 doesn’t stay in Georgia.
The gender politics of this contest are even starker due to Walker’s hero status as a football star in “Dawg Nation,” where football is king. Stephen Lawson, who organized a political committee for Walker, had this explanation.
“The fact of the matter is,” he said, “there are 40-, 50-year-old men across the state who sleep in their No. 34 jerseys at night. He’s an icon. He’s a hero in this state, and the despicable attacks that come against him will 100 percent backfire.” Walker himself regularly references his sports past as a positive rationale for his candidacy. “God prepared me for this moment because he didn’t want a politician. I’m not a politician. I can run that football. I can run track. And I do all those other things. I’m that warrior that God was looking for.”
There will be many to things to watch for in the Georgia runoff. One of them will be how many white men turn out to vote for a disastrously unqualified candidate merely because he has an “R” next to his name and the “blue-collar billionaire” endorsed him.
