Walker’s a total insider—he even has his WI boy running the RNC!
I think Priebus predated Walker's rise to power didn't he.
Decided to take a look, and found this. Ouch.
Granted, it's Wikipedia so read with some skepticism:
On Sunday December 5, 2010, Priebus stepped down as general counsel for the Republican National Committee (RNC). The next day he sent a letter to all 168 voting members of the RNC announcing his candidacy for chairman. Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker supported Priebus' bid from the beginning, attributing the party's victories in Wisconsin to "Priebus' leadership and involvement in the grassroots Tea Party movement that swept the state and the nation"
Walker is Mitt Romney with bad hair. :-)
