Well you have a point. I just find Cruz to be Obama in many ways….the gift to gab and one term Senator. We used to forbid Senators from running or at least that was our hope. We need a Governor this time to win because we need someone who has accomplishments. But again you are right with your assessment.

I think of that great scene in My Little Chickadee in which a woman, admiring a huge ring, says to Mae West, "goodness, what a beautiful ring" and Mae West provocatively replies, "goodness had nothing to do with it."

My feeling is that experience has very little to do with getting elected. Most voters, and I would venture a predominance of those who vote for Democrats, do not vote on experience but on emotion. In other words, experience has nothing to do with it. That is not as I would have it but as I see it.

John F. Kennedy had little experience any was elected over the more experienced Richard Nixon. Jerry Ford had far more experience than a governor, Jimmy Carter, but he lost to the upstart. No one had more experience in his resume in recent memory than George HW Bush but he lost to a governor with a dubious past and even more dubious present.

As it is, not how it should be, the price goes to the charismatic, to the "cool" candidate, the one who can capture the emotion and build momentum. Ted Cruz clearly has that ability. If one listens to his appearance the other day on Mark Levin's reply one cannot help but be impressed with the man's eloquence and, yes, his charisma. I have yet to hear him put a foot down wrong.

Governor Walker has a demonstrated character of courage in the face of unrelenting assault and and adherence to conservative principles which gives one confidence in his integrity as well as his ability.

The question is, do you favor a man who has potential to sweep the country into a new era, Ted Cruz, or do you favor a man who was demonstrated a clear capacity to revolutionize and revitalize a state and save it from liberal self-destruction?

Full disclosure, I favor Ted Cruz but I would not be in the least bit unhappy if Walker were our next president. Let the best man win.

And then you try to add insult to injury and CEMENT NathanBedford's point.

I just find Cruz to be Obama in many ways….

That's just plain offensive.

You are comparing a man who lied about who he was, hid what he really believed, and pretended he would do what he never intended to do, with what appears to be a principled conservative, one who wants to put conservative principles in to place, one who HAS actually stood for his beliefs, one who loves everything about America and stands for its founding principles.

I wouldn't mind if Walker was our nominee, but your ridiculous comparison is just odious........
