“Cassidy went on to denounce Walker as an “odious politician whose ascension to the Presidency would be a disaster,”...........

Where the hell was he when odumbo was running? Bastard thinks Walker was the first to ever be an “odious politician”, guess he was absent at the time.

This is so very dead on! The best part is that Walker very well understands this and will keep up exactly what he has been doing to getting the media to continue to attack him. He is clearly modeling himself after Ronaldus Magnus and now pulling ahead. Go Scott, go!!!!!!!!

It would be a good idea if the bandwagoners would find out of Walker intends to abandon the rule of law and give away the country before they give him the opportunity to deliver a permanent majority to the Democrats.

I’m loving to see Scott getting the MSM attention. It can mean only one thing and that is that they’re afraid he poses a real threat to their dreams of an Ø third term. Scott Walker will eat Hillary’s lunch . . . and trust me that’s a lot of lunch!

This is why having a good, battle-tested candidate like Walker on the political field is a recipe for victory. Nobody has been through the wringer more than he. Walker deftly parries the “media’s” agenda-based questions and that just puts them into a three-foot hover. Walker’s success as a governor, coupled with a genuine, regular-guy appeal, will carry him far. The “media’s” attacks will only draw more voters his way.

The GOP can see the target the media has painted on Walker’s back, and nothing so energizes Republicans like the prospect of rewarding one of their own for offending the delicate coastal sensibilities of the political press.

Bears repeating!

Seriously! Your single issue obsessiveness is so tedious. Do you have anything interesting to say?

Just 7 percent of those surveyed do not have a favorable opinion of the governor.

There are a number of Freepers doing all they can to push that 7% number higher.

Disgusting.

“....... The point here is not the media’s double standard, which is egregious but unchangeable. The point is that this perception of Republicans has pervaded the public arena. Republicans’ fundamental burden is not explaining to the American people that Democrats are great people, but wrong on policy. Their great burden is overcoming the generalized perception that they are money-grubbing Snidely Whiplashes bent on strapping widows and orphans to the train tracks.

You cannot overcome that perception by ardently pleading that the very folks who call you racist, sexist, homophobic bigots are well-intentioned but incompetent. If someone calls you a racist, and you respond by stating that they are a reasonable human being with policy differences, you grant their premise: A reasonable person has called you a racist, which means it is reasonable to call you racist. You lose.

And Republicans have been losing, at least in large part, because they grant the fundamental premise of the left: Democrats are well-meaning, even when they are wrong, and Republicans have evil intentions, even when they are right. That is a recipe for disaster in a country where intentions matter more than actions.”

Sure, do you? Other than RAH RAH RAH

That single issue you want to hide from is THE DEFINING ISSUE OF THE COUNTRY.

I disagree with the statement.
It energizes the base. It energizes conservatives.

The “GOP” and “Republicans”? Not so much.

They seek to appease the press and be loved by them.

Dots above line = better; below = worse.

Scott Walker is up by a mile in Iowa — but don’t start comparing him to Hillary Clinton just yet

Who despises Walker more? The left? Or the McCain, Graham, McConnell wing of Repubs?

The fact that Walker’s father is a Pastor takes a fair portion of the evangelical steam out of the appeal of Cornpone T. Huckabee. That saddens the Establishment because it notably reduces the primary votes he is charged with splintering off.

In act, I bet Cornpone T. Huckabee is on a very short leash. If he proves worthless in his assignment of splitting the evangelical vote away from the true conservatives, the Establishment will cut off his funding fast and his campaign will quietly fold up their tent and crawl back to Fox looking for a new contract.
