So far Walker hasn't gotten himself involved with any political Tar Babies and has done a really great job of advancing the cause. Given the terrific recall battle he fought and won with the unions and DemonCraps, it's also hard to see how he could have any damaging dirty laundry that hasn't come out. He's my guy right now.

We need to replace the current “karl rove” GOP.

This means, we need numbers of qualified, inspired alternatives.

We need all the tea party gang to start testing out their wings.

America needs help. Now.

[txrangerette]

He isn’t vetted on the bedeviling issues. Just because he avoided them doesn’t pass the test of where does he stand. Look what some people THOUGHT about Paul Ryan and look how that has turned out the more issue events unfold and the more we find out where he’s trying to go.

Reince Prebus? I don’t think we knew a whole lot about him, before he became RNC Chair, did we?

[MinuteGal]

Although I love 'em both ideologically, Walker has the same problem as Sarah Palin....neither emits the "gravitas" of a president and a world leader, unfortunately.

It doesn't have to exist... the left will invent it, making the election all about Walker defending himself.

[knarf]

I forgot about him ... I like him too.

But, will he leave a successful governorship to tackle presidential campaigning/politics?

We sure need a fighter right now.

[anoldafvet]

There is no way the GOPe would let Walker, Palin, Cruz or any other Conservative get the nomination.

[Nervous Tick]

From what I know *now* about Walker, I’d enthusiastically support him.

The problem with these promising governors from blue states is, we tend to find out nasty things about them as time goes on. They turn out to be gun grabbers, baby killers, fag lovers, etc.

Ref: Chris Christie. I applauded him when he was battling the teachers in NJ. I liked his no-BS straight talking style. I thought he had national potential. But knowing what I know now I wouldn’t let that fat SOB clean my toilet, let alone run my country.

Back to Walker: I’m afraid he won’t make the initial cut for the silliest of reasons: he has no college education. *I* don’t care... *you* don’t care... and considering our “success rate” with ivy-league-educated bozos like Odingo, you’d think we’d view Walker’s lack of “formal” education as a PLUS.

But I GUARANTEE you that if he gets past square one, this IS the cudgel with which the MSM will beat him mercilessly into non-contention. Hide and watch.

If Walker is that good you can be sure of one thing: that the GOP will be too stupid to nominate him.

[DoughtyOne]

Our next president needs to know how to wield and axe.

He needs to lead the Tea Party and Republican members to a dismantling of our government.

We should be left with about 25% of what we have today on the government payroll.

We need to get off our citizens and businesses backs.

Anything else, and we are just caretakers for the American Left.

[DoughtyOne]

I’m not here to talk down Walker. I admired the way he handled himself in his home state. It was inspiring.

The problem is, ruling the nation is a lot different than ruling a state. There is a whole new set of problems. Sadly those problems do flesh out the winners and the losers.

A person can look great when it comes to a few issues in his home state, and then look terrible when it comes to the issues that face the nation.

I may or may not be able to support Walker for President as we move into the future. I’ll have to wait and see.

I do know right now, I don’t want another Bush anywhere near the helm of our nation. The RNC can go —— itself if it dares try put one of them into the oval office again.

Frankly, the Republican party leadership has all but destroyed the party in my eyes.

The GOPe is something I despise.

[Will88]

What is known about Walker other than his successful fights against unreasonable union demands and state spending? People thought Chris Cristi was great while he bashed the unions in NJ.

More information is needed. Would it be shocking if, on other issues, he is very similar to Paul Ryan and Reince Prebus?

[muawiyah]

Walker will continue to be burdened with an excess of RINOs ~ remember Wisconsin is only recently emerging from the leftwingtard swamps, and although Ryan and Priebus might seem conservative by Wisconsin standards, they just don't cut it on the national stage ~ and, in 2012, both lost big time!~

If we want to win we need to provide the Republican voters with red meat Conservatives. No more RINOs. No more mamby pambies.

[cornfedcowboy]

Does Walker consider himself akin to the Tea Party? He doesn’t appeal much to me yet although he is a fighter......and the right needs one in a bad bad way.

[irish guard]

If they had trouble with Sarah Palin’s degree from the University of Idaho, the media and left will go nuts over the fact Walker hasn’t completed his undergraduate degree. Just sayin.

[jimfree]

I thought Scott Walker didn’t sleep. He has accomplished a bunch.

[traditional1]

The GOP-E would NEVER promote a Conservative. If Walker sells out (like Rubio), THEN he may have a shot at being the Candidate.

Otherwise, it's just another RINO like Jeb Bush or Paul Ryan that will lead the Ticket.

[arthurus]

In the Republican Party there are no Sleeper cndidates. Jeb Bush has been selected as the "next in line" because "it's his turn." The Republican nomination in 2016 is irrelevant to Conservatives. Conservatives and the Republic will lơse the election. If Conservatives do not have the cojones to form another party to replace the Republican Party then there is no political future for conservatives and onstitutional principles. I believe that politically active conservatives do not have the requisite cojones, grit, or what have you. We have become a socialist European Bureaucracatic system moving deliberately and rapidly to Bureaucratic Totalism.
