You totally miss the point of effective leadership.

You're thinking of another word, like Pragmatism.

As ususal, you're making excuses for where Scott Walker has fallen down in terms of Leadership.

Anything to spin it favorable to Scott.

Scott is telegraphing to Social Conservatives everywhere that he cannot be counted on when the going gets tough, or the Press is going to be "Mean" to him on a particular Social issue.

That's not leadership, it's cowardice!

Scott is telegraphing to Social Conservatives everywhere that he cannot be counted on when the going gets tough, or the Press is going to be "Mean" to him on a particular Social issue.

Talk to a liberal activist and find out what they think of Walker.

You'll get things like "blind-sided" and "never saw it coming." That's because Walker doesn't telegraph his movements (he tells him his personal beliefs and they are rock solid conservative); he doesn't give the Left fodder so that they can rally their mob - the media, the "educators," the unions - he doesn't lead with his chin, he just leads.
