They did this too early. Normally, the he-had-sex-with-farm-animals charge comes out no more than 72 hours before the election. It has worked in the past, more often then not. But they seem to be losing their touch.

No, they didn't do it too early. They have been doing this sort of stuff CONSTANTLY since he wouldn't cave in to the unions. Because of that, an announcement of this sort 72 hours before the election would have ZERO effect.

Scott Walker is an unusually clean candidate. I can only laugh on the occasions when posters claim that he hasn't been vetted. He has been vetted more than any figure in this country with the likely exception of Sarah Palin. He is presently more vulnerable, because he is still in office, and Wisconsin has a lot opf "good government" laws that can be used by properly placed people to tie the target in knots. The might of the national union operation has focused on Wisconsin, using the the lefties bred at U of Wisconsin as their willing minions. Walker is unusually good at the rope-a-dope, keeping his cool, and generally unwilling to allow distractions. At the same time, he is able to get them to over-respond and over-pursue, with just a mild, seemingly off-handed comment here and there.

I was never a big believer in the Nietzsche dictum "What does not kill me makes me stronger." It may apply to Scott Walker, however.

The Left is desperate to be back in power and as a result, getting sloppy.

Not really. This was never intended to become public at this point, smd would have been made public at most politically opportunr time, if it weren’t for the interference of that meddling Federal Judge.

Same thing happened in VA during the election that brought McDonnell to the governorship. The Dems had his grad school thesis (which could be read as disparaging to women) and had built their whole campaign strategy around releasing it two weeks before the election.

Instead, it came out over Labor Day. Public opinion of McDonnell bottomed out right at the predicted two week mark. Then it became old news, the voters went back to focusing on meaningful issues and the Dems - with their well planned campaign strategy no longer operative, weren’t able to scramble together a new one ...

This is/was an attempt to knock Gov. Walker out before he wins re-election in November.

In Mississippi, such a charge would be unnecessary as Senator Thad Cochran, liberal Democrat turned liberal Republican, made that comment publicly, talking about himself.
