I have never heard such desperation on a radio show than Vicki McKenna lately, lobbying her audience to vote for Sheriff David Clarke (D-Milwaukee). The problem is her audience is full of Republicans who don't understand you can't vote for a Democrat in one primary and a Republican in another. Vicki has spent easily one full hour this week on talking up this. I shouldn't have expected less, considering during her shows M-F David Clarke is on either in studio or by phone at least 2 days or more a week. There is a level that you can reach where your show becomes more about pandering or shilling and less about content and interesting info on the various candidates.
Sheriff David Clarke is also a fill-in host at WISN (1130 AM if you're disconnected :-)). A pundit somewhere pointed out that he does not take time off when he fills in for WISN radio. Somehow he hasn't gotten in trouble for this. I don't know.
