THE left is scared out of their minds (to put it politely) of Scott Walker.

The institutional left is petrified of Walker. If he can take down big labor in Wisconsin he can do it in the country.

Big Labor’s great weakness is if they are the issue they lose, but they are too brutish and arrogant to lay low.

If Walker is the nominee, Big Labor will reveal itself and self-destruct.

Serious fear. A Republican from an Obama Blue State who has never lost an election.

He’d be perfect since he can win votes in places a Red State Republican couldn’t.

That makes him a real threat to Hillary Clinton.

Dangerous if you’re a knee-jerk Lefty in love with Das Kapital.

Otherwise, a blessing.

Not falling for it. He is not the one the fear.

I see little Johnnie Cassidy has his panties all twisted into a wad over one of the most normal men in politics.
I am shocked! shocked, I tell you!
No, I am not. what is happening to Little Johnnie is from fear. Fear that the American people are finally waking up.
If and when the Normals (as opposed to the Abby Normals) in this nation really get fired up and start marching with their muskets and pitchforks, the John Cassidys of this country will be finished and they know it.

First sentence stipulates Walker is an “odious” politician.

That’s considered de facto and the starting premise.

Dangerous.

Nothing wrong with Bill Ayers, Jeremiah Wright, et al in Obama’s background.

New Yawker’s fearmongering again.

I'm seriously confused, someone help me out? Is this supposed to be a serious article?

look instead at Walker’s record running what used to be one of America’s more progressive states

I mean is that supposed to be a negative?

Having cemented his reputation as an economic conservative,

Again.

the consensus of opinion is that Walker’s repeated refusal to distance himself from Rudy Giuliani’s incendiary comments about Obama, and his subsequent encounter with the Washington Post’s Dan Balz and Robert Costa, during which he appeared to question Obama’s religious faith and took some shots at the media for asking him silly questions, weren’t merely reprehensible: they were serious gaffes that raised questions about Walker’s political abilities.

Political abilities????

As one reporter/commentator complained, Walker just isn’t playing the game right.

[Translation: Walker needs to screw up in a good soundbite or three, so the media can ‘Palinize’ him before he gets too much of a lead.]

Huh, another ‘let’s slash and burn Walker’ post from a Pro-Cruz guy.

The Cruz contingent could learn a lot from Walker, who has stated a Ronald Reagan like approach to the race for the nomination, our enemies are not other Republicans, our enemies are the Democrats.

New Yorker. Leftist mag.

Walker's not my first pick (Pence) but is near the top. Nobody can take away from him that he's won three times in a light blue state in the Midwest. Before that, he won Milwaukee County as an executive. That's despite taking on the unions. Unlike another governor in the Midwest that won before (Snyder), he's a not tax raising RINO.

Hmmm. Walker is looking better. If the New Yorker hates him, he must be good.
