Other than jet fuel and some additional staff? Probably not a lot, by his standards. He gets at least $10 or 20 million dollars of free publicity a day and I might be low on that. Why buy ads at this point? Most world leaders other than Mr. Obama would love to have his visibility.

I think this is a pretty good analysis. Anyone else with Walker’s record ought to have been unbeatable. Walker has proven he can weather a fight. And suddenly he turns into a squish right before our very eyes.

Then again, it does show weakness in Walker’s leadership that he allowed himself to be bamboozled by the consultant-class. Walker learned a hard lesson. He’ll be stronger for it.

I fail to see the value of putting all your eggs in Iowa. It seldom picks the winner, and in fact, the candidate gets mired in these liberal debates. Even Trump stated that he was supportive of Ethanol.

Maybe Hillary can find a spot for him as her personal advisor.

Funny how that works. Like how Sarah Palin's clothes budget became a campaign issue all of a sudden.

I wonder how many campaigns are scuttled from within by party operatives.

How many bus tire marks does Wiley have now from Walker’s GOPe failed consortium?

Good example of why Walker failed. When Guliani basically called Obama anti-American, little Scottie immediately began backtracking and apologizing. Trump says “he is the worst president for Christians”. Game over.

As you know, I'm a Cruzer that can live with the donald but early on, was OK with Walker as my third pick.

Walker began to waffle on subjects that indicated his lack of character and principle, i.e. anchor babies, and I started to bail.

And then we at FR had the constant drum beat from Wifey, bombarding us with pro-Walker articles, multiple times a day, and then using the same reference articles of proof of her position.

That alone was enough to drive me away from Walker, but then he blinked and bailed and saved us from another round of battling matches with wifey.

Wifey, I appreciate your passion for which ever candidate you support, but even my Sicilian forefathers knew when a vendetta crossed the line.

“The news (that they were broke) came as a surprise to Walker and some of his most trusted advisers”

It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to ask a few questions BEFORE going broke, like seeing where the money is being spent. $5M may seem like a lot of money, but it can be scanned through in less than an hour. Walker’s problem seems to be that he simply had no interest in the financial aspect of running for office, and the lower-level lackeys took advantage of that.

Exactly. The writer tries hard to pin all the blame on the campaign manager who obviously was either stealing or stupid, but the bottom line is if Walker didn’t know he was paying for 90 people early in the campaign then he deserved to lose. And if he did know he was paying for 90 people he deserved to lose. Either way, it was bad management Walker all the way.

As Trump says: it’s called management.

Anytime a politician (including his people) says “Comprehensive Reform”, it’s BOHICA time.
