DES MOINES, Iowa – An aide to Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker's national political operation resigned late Tuesday after drawing heated criticism from the head of the Iowa Republican Party for questioning the state's early role in the presidential nominating process. Veteran Republican strategist Liz Mair told The Associated Press that she was leaving Walker's team just a day after she had been tapped to lead his online communication efforts, citing the distraction created by a series of recent Twitter posts about Iowa's presidential caucuses.

Liz Mair was the topic of a long thread this morning regarding a Breitbart article. It looks like this potential problem for the Walker campaign solved itself pretty quickly.

Yeah, I was not happy when I heard about her joining the Walker party. She is pro-Amnesty big time; she would have pushed him in the wrong direction.

This is a really good thing.

Not sure exactly what she said but it’s nice to know the head of the Iowa Republican Party is a fan of free speech.

I hope it’s a case of Walker quickly taking care of a problem when it comes up.

For a communication “expert” hired to “reach out” she couldn’t have done anything more moronic than putting out sophomoric tweets disparaging the voters you must have.

And her web page is an insult to all the people that Walker needs if he’s going to win.

What does this have to do with free speech?

I am also relieved she is gone, because of her immigration views.

It is strange this article didn’t say one thing about them, when that is the larger part of the controversy

Walker is showing himself to be lightning quick on the uptake and very savvy, it looks like. No hand wringing there it seems. How stupid could a “communications” expert be anyway? She communicated one too many times the wrong message. In Iowa, of all places! No brainer.

This was about Walker's amnesty views, not Iowa.

Fox is covering for Walker.

Walker is pro amnesty.

He’s just not that into conservatism. His goals and conservatives goals meshed for a moment. One night

Whan ever it was Walker acted decisively....about a thousand times quicker than Obambi...

1. Needs assessment

2. Focus group

3. Polling the talking points

4. Get input from steak holders

5. Meet with the SENIOR ADVISERS

Last but not least:

6. The PRESIDENTIAL COIN TOSS

When you’re in politics, you need to be mindful of what you say at all times.

The microphone is always on.

Walker is pro amnesty

It won’t take four people to run the White House

The guy who doesn’t blink at the media, who tells them simply how the constitution works, is the only goper to win. He’s the only guy who cand disarm the media, which is what has to happen if liberals are to be stopped

The constitution is the only real focus of any president. It’s the focus of the military which is why they are begrudgingly at times our favorite

Anyone with a hint of pro amnesty may as well collect all the fame now that he can because he’s not getting in. Only those who guarantee no end of support for birth control can get away with that

Walker hires people who are pro amnesty evaluate his radar is not calibrated. He is pro amnesty AND a perceived threat to birth control. He has no base

And if he were to win the nomination, you would stay home on election day, right?

Well, this may have been just a good excuse (the emails) to get rid of her.

And, knowing Walker’s roots, I don’t think he likes to air his dirty laundry in public - like exposing why she was really leaving. But, this action to me says that she turned out to be other than what Walker thought he was getting in a communications person.

The only way we’ll probably ever find out is if she blabs it - and I wouldn’t put it past her.
