I’m a WI citizen and we like Scott Walker! He has been a great governor and a real conservative. He replaced a Democrat huge spender, big time liberal-Jim Doyle. Doyle retired when our budget short fall was enormous - Walker cleaned it up within a year.

The NYT rehashed all the anti-Walker talking points we ha had to listen to since he got the governor job and during the failed recall. A bunch of garbage and Walker has done no wrong - the Dems have tried to frame him and no actionable misconduct has been found to be done by Walker.

I don’t think he is ready to be a presidential candidate by 2016, but will be sometime after that election. I am leaning to Ted Cruise and hope he has the stature to run and win, despite nasty attacks during the campaign.

I don’t necessarily rule out Walker, provided his immigration position becomes more adult. I wish he were governor of my state.

That is his talent; cleaning up after the Dims.

Isn't that the truth!

His opponent has already taken her stand on american jobs — she outsourced them overseas from her company (Trak Bikes).

Even if all of us split off into out own political party we can’t generate enough support to defeat the Demopublicans.

I've been feeling that exact way, today :(

Yes, he is going back to finish his degree. As somebody who did that 12 years ago (40 years late) I wholeheartedly applaud his decision. With his talent and experience, he’ll make mincemeat out of his fellow students — in a nice way. He’s always a gentleman.

I agree. I did the same thing. My only comment was Big Media will use it against him. But who knows, maybe the masses have awakened to the mess the Elite Politicians have made of this country......from both sides of the aisle.......and will go with a regular guy who would actually be good for the country.

Big Media will try to use it against him anyway. They already have.
