The catcalling press continues to trail after Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, hoping to make an issue over his lack of a college diploma, among other things. But no matter. Mr. Walker’s grass-roots appeal and business acumen have made him the victor in a new poll of Iowa voters who rank him top dog among 2016 GOP contenders. The governor garnered 24 percent of the vote; Jeb Bush and Sen. Rand Paul are tied for second place, each with 10 percent. Gov. Chris Christie is in third, followed by Sen. Marco Rubio, Mike Huckabee, Rick Santorum, Ben Carson, Sen. Ted Cruz and Carly Fiorina.

That leaves Paul, Santorum and Fiorina among those in the original poll. I can think of a few others.
Walker is a sitting governor but I see no reason to rule him out.
Ridiculous. I will take a drop out over a person with an Ivy League degree....they are the dumbest people on Earth.....We have had Harvard, Yale, Stanford and they all crewed us to what we have now. Give me a normal everyday joe like Walker and it is refreshing. I could care less if he finished his degree or not. He is the most successful Governor in 40 years.
He answered the evolution question properly.
Notice it isn’t headline news? It still would be, along with a hundred other question if he said he believe God created the earth.
Instead, he was wise and skilled enough to deny them their battle.
When you’re an expert at something, as he is, it looks effortless.
Do you wonder why he is compromised on immigration? It’s because of his full-term governorship. I contend that all full-term governors are compromised by definition.
An interesting take on it.
A year from now we’ll have more clarity, on both sides of the contest.
In Feb 2007 there weren’t many people predicting that a guy from Kenya named Hussein would be the next POTUS.
