The Democrats are already getting ready to label Walker anti-education.

They labeled him anti-education when he ran the first time. And education funding and support is a bigger deal in WI than in the country as a whole.

A LOT of things caused the boondoggle in Virginia. Not just that one issue. Numerous states have similar laws with no blowback. RFRA was not even controversial when it passed atthe Fed level and in a score of states until it blew up in Indiana. Sometimes it is just a matter of timing.

And they'll label him anti-education in 2016 as well. The difference being he's running nationwide in a presidential election cycle.

Yes there is no doubt that the Republicans constantly come up with new and creative ways of shooting themselves in the foot.
