Sounds like a brilliant strategy...

Martin is a Clymer. Big time.

Walker doesn't want to play the game because he knows the game is stacked against him.

Several other potential GOP candidate-wannabes have taken the bait. They cannot resist speaking into a media mic, even knowing the media will turn against them.

The media are disheartened that they haven't been able to get some 'juicy' soundbites of Walker saying something they can twist.

[TomGuy]

Walker and Giuliani are playing it the right way. Don't play by their rules. Don't back down or apologize or weasel out.

Except that Guiliani was already doing some backtracking this morning. He has started to fold.

We once had a president who was accused of rape. He was asked to respond to the allegations once, whereupon he declined to discuss it. The matter was dropped by the democrat press. I’m curious whether Mr Martin or the pBS woman were among the people interested in that topic, or if they ignored it like the rest of the press. Has either of them asked the impeached former president about the matter?

25 comments here so far and not a single anti-Walker remark. Quite a record since at least one Walker opponent usually pops up on each of these Walker threads. Looks like Scott knows exactly what to do and is doing it.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

They want to Todd Akin all Republican candidates, and those who refuse to cooperate are playing a depressing, cynical game.

Giuliani: ‘I didn’t intend to question President Obama’s motives or the content of his heart’

Giuliani caved. He started backtracking, clarifying in an op-ed in the WSJ.

That kind of backtracking, caving, clarifying was what the media was hoping to lure Walker into. Walker is the current frontrunner against a media who wants Jeb.

Rudy Giuliani: My Bluntness Overshadowed My Message

Ever notice the New York Times NEVER goes around asking democrats how they ‘feel’ about something controversial - if it deals with democrats?

Elizabeth -how do you feel about the news Bill Clinton visit an island called orgy island - owned by a pedophile? Do YOU feel Orgygate will effect Hillary's campaign? And will it change your mind about jumping into the race?

Never happen. Which is why everything the New York Times says about Republicans has to be seen as hate speech.

[Vigilanteman]

This thread said it best: Unserious questions from pretend journalists.

I can't think of a better five word description.

[needmorePaine]

I missed that until now. Let’s hope Walker stays the course.

[TomGuy]

MSM haven’t worked this hard to try to make a story since now former Senator George Allen uttered “macaca”.

[JudyinCanada]

What difference does it make what religion Obama professes to be. It’s his destruction of the country that matters. Is it somehow better that a country be willfully degraded by a Christian, Jew, muslim, buddhist, etc.?

Judge him by what he’s doing to the country. It’s that simple.
