How to lose an election with one statement

From WisOpinion Quote of the Week:

"The ongoing violence in the city of Milwaukee is not just simply a city problem. It's not the mayor's problem. It's not County Executive (Scott) Walker's problem. It's a problem of the citizens of this state."

-- Republican attorney general candidate and Waukesha County DA Paul Bucher, proposing that the state pay for increased police patrols in Milwaukee

Uh-huh. Maybe we should increase the state sales tax to help Milwaukee fix "our" problem. Sorry Mr Bucher, it seems like your campaign for AG is officially over.
