A governor has a much different job than a senator. A GOP Senator from a red state can afford to take on any and all issues and talk, talk, talk without political consequences. A GOP governor in a blue state has to pick battles in order to govern effectively.

The USA cannot survive gay marriage. No country can.

So, it’s time to fight or give up.

Sorry, that's not Leadership.

We heard the same crap as an excuse about the Progressive Liberal Romney.

What you are telling us is that Walker can be expected, as POTUS, to roll over on any issue, no matter how right his position is, if he is expecting to much political flack.

Give me the Fearlessness of Ted Cruz to the Political Calculation, apparently, of Scott Cruz, any and every day of the Week!

CRUZ or LOSE!

“A GOP governor in a blue state has to pick battles in order to govern effectively.”

This is so true. I wouldn’t right him off just because he isn’t trying to fight a losing battle in his state.

We need a governor for a presidential candidate who knows how to manage a budget and run a bureaucracy. And deal with wack-job democrats.

Walker has a proven record as a fighter.

Nail. Hammer. Head.

Last time we had a former Governor from a blue state and a Congressman from a blue state and that did turn out too well.

I’d say go Red State Red State for both spots on the ticket this time.
