He needed to run in 2012.

No. Too much unfinished business in WI. The lefties had everything tied up in courts, and he spent too much of the year on the recall. If he bailed out before the recall to run for prez it would not have worked. If Cruz can't pull it off, Walker is one of the few who can unite both wings of the party, which means the eventual divorce will be messier still, but that we could have a solid man on the ballot in 2016.

No, no. AFTER the recall. I was promoting his candidacy at the time and to dump Willard, given that half the base voters opposed his candidacy. Walker could’ve charged into the GOP Convention with enough supporters to try to nullify that ludicrous farce of a primary. A righteous revolt by the base.

Walker’s my first choice.

2012 is history, frack it. Unfortunately DJ “Dump Mitt” after he won a majority of the delegates was not something that was gonna happen outside of the confines of candyland, we don’t live in candyland.
