What are Scott Walker’s vulnerabilities? I think he is the strongest candidate; I read his book and I believe he showed great courage in fighting the public service unions in his state; he even had to fight RINOs in his state legislature.
I don’t mean to say he couldn’t overcome, but they’d go after his so-called ethics issues, which so far have turned up nothing but you know how they wouldn’t care. Also, even though there are many positive signs in WI as a result of the budget reforms he pushed for, there’s been so much delay and obfuscation in implementing them that the results are mixed - at least it’s possible for opponents to find ways to say they haven’t produced the intended results (yet).
The biggest thing, which isn’t as bad as it might sound once you get into the details, is that his recent budget actually increases the size of state gov’t and spends 6.2% more than the previous year. But it built on the surplus that was created from the previous very tough budget and he’s bankinng on economic recovery to carry the rest. Plus, while there is increased funding for education, for example, it includes more charter schools and not just pouring money down the same old rathole.
I’d like to see him get a change to present his accomplishments and make the case. My comment only was to say that he’s drawn criticism from what should be a favorable crowd such as Tea Party conservatives.
