I have a lot of respect for Baldwin...
...and I still do, although I completely disagree with the comparison he makes in the article cited...actually, I think it's more than a little off the deep end. The Republicans didn't steal the election...they won a squeeker, and apparently there are some people who are having terrible difficulty getting beyond that.
Regardless, Baldwin usually comes across as rational, thoughtful and passionate about his beliefs, which is something I can appreciate above and beyond any differences in ideology.
