In the poll, released on Saturday night, [Sott] Walker was the first choice of 15 percent of respondents in the poll, up from 4 percent when the poll was conducted in October. Walker bested Kentucky Senator Rand Paul, who was at 14 percent. Mitt Romney was in third at 13 percent; the poll was taken from Monday to Thursday, before he announced his withdrawal from the race. Ex-Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee was in fourth with ten percent of voters' support. ...Jeb Bush, who is viewed as the GOP's establishment choice, was only preferred by eight percent of voters. The results held even more bad news for Bush....

I could see Jack Bauer serving President Walker.

A post I caught by chance...
Now you must admit that Jack Bauer would never take on such a role...
Stop making sense. That will get you in trouble here.
That could also apply to gutless weasel John Boehner.
But the Washington Post just said that Jeb was emerging as the front-runner.Jeb’s the pick of the RIGHT people.
The whole political process in this country has become a shame.I challenge anyone to prove to me I’m wrong about this.
My advice to Walker: it’s a marathon, not a sprint. Step by step and he can put Bush and anyone else away.
[Cruz is the ONLY conservative who rejects amnesty by all of its brand names.]
I like CRUZ -2106, but if it looks like Cruz and Walker are going to knock each other out of the race - we’d better be flexible enough to support the stronger of the two. The other option? Jeb Bush
fool
As someone who lived thru the first round of the Clinton Machine, I am leaning toward Scott Walker, because he has been more thoroughly vetted than anyone else in the GOP. The left in WI was so enraged over Walker that they probed every inch of his life and found none of the dirt they wanted. And they wanted to get rid of him (and still do) very badly and they couldn’t. Remember, these are the scumbag Clintons we’re talking about as opponents. Three election wins in just a handful of years, with all of the left-wing money (from every corner of the US) coming after him.
And as big of a Ted Cruz fan as I am, I prefer to see him be a thorn in the side of the left for as long as possible.
I’d want a President Walker to name him to SCOTUS. I suspect the Senate would be so happy to get Cruz out of their hair, that he might sail through confirmation.
Cruz is only 44. :)
Are you a democrat, then?
I approve of news that Scott Walker is gaining in the polls.
Sounds like the "Titanic Solution" many here seem to espouse. Sink the ship and expect lifeboats to come by and save us. Also the same "solution" that gave Obama a second term. No way a Hillary to follow on could make it any worse though.....
Same here.
There is no doubt in my mind that Gov. Walker is the BEST candidate to beat whatever slimeball advanced by the Democrats and heads and shoulders above the assorted 'moderates' (Stand for nothing) that glut the Republican field.
I was gonna’ click on the Huffington article but the president said I’m not posta’.
A very inexpensive campaign might do much to derail Bush. A t-shirt and bumper sticker campaign with a simple message:
“I will never vote for Jeb Bush”.
It needs no explanation, but the more it appears, the more people will realize that Jeb Bush, despite his billionaire backers, is not the only choice, even though the Republican leadership will try to pretend he is, and actively fight any other challengers.
So the bottom line of the primaries is that in state after state, the more Jeb Bush loses, the more he will lose.
Until that happy moment that even though he has lost, the party leadership will try to force his candidacy through at the convention. This will cause the party leadership to collapse, and for all to see their nakedness.
Walker is married to an American .............
Not Walker....the poll is meaningless. Walker probably will be formidable - but polls will change a hundred times in just Iowa alone between now and the caucus.
Newt led Iowa by 14 points just a couple weeks before the Caucus. Michelle Bachmann led polls and won the Ames Straw Poll in the late summer. And neither were a factor on caucus day....so a poll today is less than meaningless.
