“early peaking will open him up to attacks from others.”

This. Walker is going to have a tough time staying in this position. Ask Michelle Bachmann, Rick Perry, Herman Cain, Newt Gingrich, and Rick Santorum. Cruz will be smart to stay under the radar until after Labor Day when he’ll have the chance to defend himself.

Bachmann and Santorum were unable to raise the money to be competitive. Further, Santorum lost his last election BIG, and Bachmann was only a Rep, not a governor.

Cain did very little to control the bimbo eruptions, and in the end it appeared that there was a "there" there. In any event, Cain quit, depriving himself of the opportunity to clear his name.

Newt Gingrich, unlike Scott Walker, does not practice custody of the mouth. He too had never won a general election larger than a single congressional district.

Rick Perry, uhmmmm, uhmmm, brain freeze.

Yes, in the event that Walker has a Macaca moment, that would hurt. That goes for anyone, and Walker does not seem to be prone to that, despite more baiting than any living politician this side of Sarah Palin has ever received.
