The comments at source are interesting in that, for every three or four supportive comments, there is one crank.

This just goes to show that any politician who sets out to undo the damage done by Liberals and the unions can expect to generate a lot of heat from all sides. This is no job for pansies.

Trolling for the DNC and the AFL-CIO, fr sure. If they are bussing them in to scream and yell, they will surely have them pestering websites.

This guy is DEFINITELY presidential material. Anyone with the courage he’s shown this week, and the thought process behind it, is a great possibility.

I don’t agree with Krauthammer much anymore but he was remarking that “the GOP has an excellent ‘bench,’” referring to governors like Walker.

Too bad most aren’t goint to well-known enough or prepared enough to run against Obozo next year.

I admit that he has impressed the hell out of me in his handling of all this. His presser last evening was nothing short of masterful. The man has courage, smarts, and could easily be the next Christie. Kudos to him.

I found myself comparing him to Obama. No teleprompter. And seemingly no notes. He knows his stuff.

Zero is making the mistake of turning Walker into a household name.

Its a good name, and it sounds American for once.

And I bet he has no problem with anyone asking what his middle name is either.

Will you people STOP this dam one issue call for someone to run for president.

Scott Brown, wins in Mass. on promise to stop obamacare. Did he? NO! and he’s proven himself in very short order to be a RINO.

Chris Christie makes budget cuts in NJ and all of a sudden he’s presidential material. Another RINO.

Now Walker is trying to do exactly as Christie and now he’s presidential material.

Maybe its because we are starved for a leader who can go toe to toe with Hussein.

That’s the big advantage the left has over the right—they know who their leader is (for better or worse) and we just have a “field” which will surely be scrapping it out for the next year.

We have several. The problem is going to be selecting just one.

The GOP would do well to replace the dorks we have at the top for the Presidential election with some of this new blood.

It is fun to see people really get excited by competence.

I think the vernacular has changed on us: we now have a ‘bench’.

I understand what you wrote. That said, Scott is the real deal. We in southeast Wisconsin have had the opportunity to watch him over the years. He is fiscally AND socially conservative, plus he just doesn’t back down. At this point, he doesn’t have the experience to run for national office, but give him 4-6 years. He’ll be ready.

We are not giving Walker up.

We need him to fix the corruption in WI.

Scott Walker is the real thing - A Man Of His Word.
