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.

I believe Scott Walker should remain in Wisconsin and continue to clean up the mess created by his predecessors. He will make Wisconsin the good example it has and will continue to become. What the country needs is a lot more Scott Walkers and we can point to Washington and say, look what intelligent, creative, strong and people with integrity can accomplish. Then, let’s bash the heck out of Congress and do more of the same. I’m sure that Mr. Romney has a very good list of VP folks, and I trust he will make the correct decision. Scott Walker may have a great future in the nation’s no. 1 spot, but for now, he is doing a great job and he will do more good.

Forget it. Scott has a job to do in WI. We need him to finish his term and maybe another. He’s young. The nation can have him in 2020.

Well then your opinion sucks again, because it would give the State back to the Slave Party. Wisconsin is still shaky. They're going to need Walker for a while, and we're going to need Wisconsin to get better and better, both to keep the left out of the White House and as an example of what we can do (similar to Indiana).

No, he isn’t a Vice Presidential candidate. Gimme a freakin’ break.

As Wisconsin’s governor, Mr. Walker already has a better job, an immediately more important job than U.S. Vice President.

He has certainly done a better job as a governor than Romney ever did.

Wisconsin needs Walker, and the nation needs him, more right where he is than sitting as a place-holder for someone else for 4 or 8 more years.

Romney should pick someone else, and if Romney fails in his campaign, or if we don’t like how Romney does as President, conservatives can try to get Walker to run next time.

I think Walker is a very courageous leader who stared down the dims, and didn't blink. Last week, was truly a joy.

Obviously he is a fiscal conservative, but didn't I read somewhere that he tends a little more left on social issues? Please correct me if I am wrong.

Baloney.

He's doing a great job as governor, and he needs to show what more can be done.

When his time comes he will be running for President, not as window dressing for some other candidate.

I think some of you are not focusing on the real issue — it’s NOT what Walker needs, or Wisconsin needs, the focus should be what the COUNTRY NEEDS. Scott Walker has what the country needs and he could help Romney focus on the real issues — economy and breaking the unions.

Rubio is a nice guy, but he needs more experience, he needs to run and be governor first.

This IS the time where Walker’s star is rising — he could do for the US, what he has started to do for Wisconsin. His Lt Gov seems quite capable to continue to do what he started in Wisconsin.

Although it is now more possible, now that Kleefisch has survived the recall too (and for awhile there she was NOT doing as well in polls as was Walker), I think he is better off where he is. He’s just in his mid-40s. Plenty of time there.

Nope, The situation in Wisconsin needs to be consolidated, with further stabilization of the state’s budget and governance through the real leadership provided by Scott Walker and the Republican legislature.

By completing the job he was (re)elected to do, Scott Walker sets an example, and provides a model, for the rest of the nation. The successes gained are a valuable tool for illustrating the value of Conservative governing principals especially when compared to the Socialist governing results promoted by the Public Sector Unions and their partners in crime, the Democrats (read Socialists).

Scott Walker’s greatest value lies in his continuation of righting Wisconsin after years of neglect under the Union/Democrat yoke.

Those promoting a “Conservative of the Month” for a National Elective Executive office at every turn does not serve that individual, nor the nation well.

Each wine in it’s time. When Scott Walker has completed his job in Wisconsin he may be ready to step up to the national plate. I suspect that he will be building a resume that will be the envy of every elected pol in the next few years.

Being from Wisconsin, I'd like to keep Walker here to finish what he started. That being said ... if the GOPe were "smart", and I accuse them of no such thing, they'd ditch Romney altogether and replace him with Walker. This would make for a guaranteed victory in 2012 across the nation. But they won't; there isn't enough overlap between their long term goals and Walker's. They'll keep Romney and, I expect, Wisconsin will stay blue in November. As for making him VP, nope, Romney will never do it. Walker is at least as conservative as Palin and likely more so. We know how much Romney and his ilk detest Palin. No way they swallow their egos to be outshined by their VP pick.

I am soooo very jealous of Wisconsin with your brave governor. Here, in Minnesota, we are stuck with Mark Dayton, a loser for certain. If we had had voter ID in 2010, he would not have been elected, and we would have had Tom Emmer plus both the House and Senate here in St. Paul. With Mark Dayton in the governor’s seat, we are left with a union toadie and an anti-business politician. He either vetoes everything that our legislature passes, or he tries to go around them with appointments of lefties to important positions.

Dayton is one of those spoiled rotten sons of prosperous RINO Republicans. He has never had to worry a day in his life about anything, and he lives off his inheritance of the Dayton-Hudson corporation (now Target). Dayton did have a tgeaching position once right after he graduated from college, but it did not last long (I am not sure why, whether he was a quitter, or whether he just was incomptent - I’ll never know for sure).

Dayton always looks like a deer in the headlights, and speculation is that he is on strong medications to treat a long history of depression.

Good luck, Wisconsin! You have a beautiful state and have now turned the corner away from knee-jerk liberalism. I hope it rubs off on Minnesotans. But, first we need to get a new governor here in MN.
