Get over yourself. You intellectual dishonesty robs you of any ability to be objective where your candidate is concerned. Scott Walker has been shady since the days he cheated in his college election. The Marquette Sentinel called him “unfit to serve”, and endorsed his opponent who won the election.

Quite informed aren't you, especially for someone who claims to just being some innocent conservative researching the positions of the candidates and discovered that Walker has an illegal immigrants. Unfortunately, every single of your talking points traces right back to some Left screed.

You are a fraud.

It is a fact that he did cheat in the election at Marquette and that he was suspended from campaigning for a period of time. It is also true that the Marquette Tribune declared him "unfit to serve". From Politifact:

An election commission found Walker guilty of campaigning a week early. A Quigley worker campaigned too close to polls. An unregistered Walker worker dropped literature at students’ doors. Walker lost campaign privileges in one Marquette facility, and lost a day of campaigning as another penalty.

The day before the election, the student-produced Marquette Tribune endorsed Quigley. That surprised Quigley, who expected that his rabble-rousing style would be frowned on. The paper, though, also said Walker was qualified.

That day’s newspaper became a limited edition, students told the Quigley campaign. They’d seen Walker workers and/or College Republicans emptying editions of the Tribune from racks in high-traffic buildings, according to Quigley. Administrators soon got involved in the dustup.

"I heard by mid-day that people couldn’t find it," Quigley told us. Tribune officials also complained to administrators.

Stung by the endorsement, Walker’s camp plastered campus with an election-eve flier criticizing Quigley’s political tactics.

It was gentle stuff, but the Trib took offense, publishing an election-day editorial headlined, "Walker unfit." It decried his "mudslinging" and said another factor in its reversal on Walker being qualified was the alleged theft of papers, which Walker’s camp denied.

The next day’s vote wasn’t close; Quigley won 1,245 to 947.
