I think Scott Walker demonstrated leadership and ability to get votes, defeating the Dem/Union machine.

In my opinion, he should be at the top of the list of potential VP candidates.

No, no, no. Please; not now Innovative. Leave him in WI to finish the job and to torment the Union Thugs and Libs a little longer. He’s still young; his day will come.

And next week someone else will be idolized.

Most of us know very little about him aside from this union fight.

Isn't Walker's presence as Gov going to help win the Senate seat and bring Wisc to GOP without losing him as Gov?

Say, is anyone calling Tammy Baldwin too extreme for Wisconsin? Her values are not Wisconsin values? Aren't most Dem senators or Sen candidates holding views just like Baldwin? And out of touch with their own states.

In addition to my Post #2, let me say this:

If the Romney team is smart, they would go to Wisconsin and hire everybody who worked on Scott Walker’s campaign to avoid the Recall. They have a ground game and a GOTV game that will help Romney carry WI in November; something no Pubbie has done for many moons in the Presidential Election.

HEY MITT: HIRE SCOTT WALKER’S CAMPAIGN STAFF...... TODAY!!!

Walker fought to keep his job, only to end it, so that he could become Mitt’s VP? This doesn’t make any sense!

NO, Please keep your mitts off our guy Walker - said in a loving way of course.

Leave him here to torment the lefties is absolutely correct. He's not done here and won't be for a while. We sent you Ron Johnson and Paul Ryan, dumped Feingold and that #%&$@! David Obey for Sean Duffy (Rep). And for Tammy Baldwin. Puullleeeeze, folks there can be NO way she can win in November. We don't have a firm candidate for Senator for the retiring Sen. Herb Kohl but rest assured we and Gov. Walker will do our best to deliver a Senator AND our Great State of Wisconsin to the GOP this fall.

I for one am so darned proud of what we did here in WI. It is an awakening to those who are afraid (GOPe & RINOS) to stand up and defend what we KNOW to be right for this country.

Watch us now. Please find your OWN “right thinking” heroes to get this country back on the right path.

I disagree. The Dems would love to get him out of Wisconsin before he finishes his job. Face it, the VP position is window dressing. Let Walker finish his terms as Governor and rework the system that is destroying the States (namely enslavement to the public unions); perhaps run for Senator, and then go for the President's office - either 2016 or 2024.

I think not. Scott Walker just poked the union hornets nest and barely survived. Let's not poke that nest now that they are feeling defeated.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Only if you are wanting his political career finished. If Romney wins he will be one term and never again including his VP. If he looses it will be the same, never again on the world stage and that will include his VP. I am viewing this as a chance to get rid of a rino, perhaps Christie or Bush.

Walker has his own destiny. He does not need to taint it with Willard.

Analysis: Win vaults Wisconsin's Scott Walker into vice presidential discussion

So they can try to destroy him like they did Sarah Palin?

Leave him alone. He needs to stay home and finish the job.

Bob McDonnell, Virginia Governor, will be VEEP. Only candidate who makes total sense. As I have said, ALL upside, NO downside.

1. Constitutionally eligible
2. Conservative
3. Pro Life (always has been)
4. Pro tradition marriage, anti gay marriage
5. A swing state would be moved into Romney column
6. Virginia Senate seat, has been a 50/50 tie for months would swing into the Republican column
7. Wants the job, is term limited out for Governor
8. He is a southerner, Romney is a northerner
9. He has great hair like Romney, an attractive candidate
10. He is a good speaker.
11. He has balanced his state budget by reduced spending and taxes

“The Governor’s success in the reconvened session was a continuation of his victories in the regular session when 92% of his legislative proposals were approved. As Governor, Bob McDonnell has reduced state spending to 2006/7 levels cutting $6 billion; rejected a nearly $2 billion tax increase; put policies in place to help Virginians attract and create thousands of private sector jobs, with the state unemployment rate falling from 7.2% in February 2010 to 6.4% today; made the largest investment in transportation in a generation; and made college more accessible and affordable for Virginia students.

That record of results is resonating.

A new poll out yesterday finds the Governor enjoying an impressive 66% approval rating!”

leave walker in wisconsin to carry on, leave portman in ohio, rubio in florida etc. Why would anyone want to take a strong leader away and have the need to replace? The best VP candidates would be someone “free” like palenty [not my choice] or Sarah Palin [MY CHOICE].

That would be great but not yet. He needs to stay for Wisconsin.

If he were to entertain any thoughts of VP or
President they would call him ‘a quitter’.

I want a VP that has read “The Failure Factory” and knows that Bolshecrat bureaucrats will screw up any administration. I want someone like Dick Cheney, and, Allen West comes to mind.

I think he’s polarizing like Sarah. I’d vote for either one in a heartbeat but people will get out to vote against him. Four years and hopefully this dies down and we can look at hom again.
