Republican Gov. Scott Walker is using his new book to renew his criticism of 2012 GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney and raise his own national profile as a reformer who took on public sector unions and won.

Walker’s book provides a detailed account of his 2011 battle against public unions, the campaign he won against their efforts to recall him, and his unhappiness with Romney and other Republicans he says didn’t learn the lessons of his political victories. The volume could set the stage for Walker’s own candidacy in the future.

The Associated Press on Friday obtained a copy of Walker’s book, “Unintimidated: A Governor’s Story and a Nation’s Challenge,” before its scheduled release Nov. 19. Walker’s book includes an excoriation of Barack Obama’s presidency and Washington politics, saying Obama has laid out a second term agenda that “doubles down on the failures of his first.” He says Wisconsin’s Republican-led policies have shown a better way forward for the country. …

Does Walker have what it takes to be President?

Absoluely! Trouble is, we still need him in Wisconsin. There is much mischieft done by the previous Governor that still needs to be undone.

Walker has appeal beyond the "Republican Party"

Blue Dog Dems vote for him. They no longer exist in Congress, but there are plenty of them left in the populace. They were once known as "Reagan Democrats"

And it's no fluke...he did it twice as County Executive of extremely blue Milwaukee, and before 2016 will have done it twice as Governor.

I haven’t heard much of anything out of Blue Dog Democrats since about Reagan. Not a chirp for H.W. Bush, and Clinton was all about women getting emotionally excited by him. And W. Bush was just gratitude that Clinton was over.

And I don’t believe for a moment any Blue Dogs voted for Obama. It makes me wonder if they still exist.
