Right to Work Gives Gov. Scott Walker Powerful 2016 Boost

Before the end of March, Wisconsin will likely become the 25th state to allow workers the choice of whether or not to join a union. With the pending enactment of a so-called “Right to Work” law, Wisconsin will join Indiana, Iowa and Michigan as the only Midwestern or Northeastern states without compulsory union membership. It could also power Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker to the Republican nomination.

It could be said that Walker’s campaign for the nomination began in 2011, when he pushed Act 10, a law stripping public sector employees of many collective bargaining rights, through the legislature. The proposal set off furious protests from labor unions, who occupied the state Capitol for weeks.

Act 10 sparked a series of recall elections against several state Senators and Walker himself. There was also a vigorous campaign for a seat on the state Supreme Court, with the ultimate constitutionality of the law hanging in the balance. Walker and his allies prevailed in those contests.

Walker went on to win reelection in 2014, giving him victories in three heavily contested, statewide elections in just four years. Few politicians have won such a succession of high-profile campaigns in so short a time, especially in a political swing state such as Wisconsin.

With Walker and Cruz, we have our nominee and our fall back. Push the damn moderates to the bottom of the pack.

Wisconsin will join Indiana, Iowa and Michigan as the only Midwestern or Northeastern states without compulsory union membership . . .

Don't the Dakotas, Kansas and Nebraska count as Midwestern states?

[GeronL]

Are Walker supporters one-issue voters?

[BeadCounter]

Fox is giving the CPAC poll right now,

5. Bush, 4. Carson, 3. Cruz..... so that means,

Paul and Walker will be the two finalists.......

Winner: Rand Paul, 2nd, Scott Walker. I am surprised.

Which issue are you referring to?

[Graybeard58]

giving him victories in three heavily contested, statewide elections in just four years. Few politicians have won such a succession of high-profile campaigns in so short a time

Name one, other than Walker, who has had to try.

[GeronL]

how much of a fight did he put up on gay “marriage”?

[Balding_Eagle]

how much of a fight did he put up on gay “marriage”?

THAT's the single issue you think Walker supporters are focused on?

Or did you mean Walker opponents?

Well, wait, isn't it amnesty?

[T Ruth]

so-called “Right to Work” law

This writer seems to have a leftist bias. Why do we never read about a 'so-called "Affordable Care Act"'?

[RedMDer]

Let's Git-R-Done!

[GeronL]

lol

[samtheman]

Walker is my choice.

Governor Walker Signs State Budget; Expands School Choice

and from the perspective of his enemies,,,

He has been systematically remaking the DNR ever since into a business-friendly entity hostile to anyone who would challenge his corporatist agenda; one of his very first actions after his inauguration suspended an ongoing review of an application by a developer donor

Sound like a single issue kind of guy? Truly he rules from a throne made from skulls of liberals.

[taildragger]

Walker is my choice.

Indeed. Look @ my tagline.

I got see this "guy" on the laptop while watching dinner the other night.

I think we have found Walker's VP...

I am very impressed, I knew Ted Cruz was sharp, but this guy maybe the sharpest guy in the room.

I present to you the CSPAN link to Gov. Bobby Jindal's Speech...

“Don’t the Dakotas, Kansas and Nebraska count as Midwestern states?”

No their west of the Mississippi river and clearly don’t connect with the Great lakes.(means inadequate water for great manufacturing & trade based industry) That means they will always have relatively low populations and be what the easterner call “Empty quarter” states thus they are Geographically, Economically, culturally, and ideologically Western States.

As for Wisconsin’s Governor Walker, im sold, we should make this man President, he can help turn the tide nationally by pushing back against leftist policies that feed the corrupt Democrat machine.

[Mr. N. Wolfe]

Nicely done.

[traderrob6]

Why, Paul wins every time. It’s CPAC.

[dfwgator]

It’s like being the team with the best record in Pre-Season, it means squat.

[Maine Mariner]

Yes they are midwestern states but they are also called the Great Plains states and the midwest are those states just to the left (looking south).

Are Walker supporters one-issue voters?

no
