Walker looks best so far, in my opinion. He's the most sure to cut big spending on those who use the spending to turn politics more to the left and violate our freedoms. Wish more voters could grasp that and the need to avoid politicians who talk about doing the same with no records to back up the talk.
If spending is not cut the way Walker's been doing it in Wisconsin (and more), the remainder of the default process ahead is going to come as a brutal shock to many government employees and pensioners supporting the big spenders. Living for the rest of their lives as peasants in third world conditions will come as terrible shock to them, and no amount of stocking up on a narrow array of things now will help them then.
It will either be quite a few salaries and pensions cut here and there with care or most of those salaries and pensions simply stopped nearly all at once. We simply don't have the manufacturing base to support all of that spending with real revenues, so the debts continue to pile up.
Pensions are already being repudiated in slow motion. Follow the link in the following article and read every line. You'll see what the money is already coming out of (pension funds and investments).

After the vicious circle is started by increasing yields, bond collapse, interest increases going viral, repeatedly declining business activity, market crashes, repudiations, trade stoppages, etc., things may get worse much more quickly.
When that vicious circle starts, all investments are going down. Walker is the only candidate who has a record of cutting spending with enough consideration to possibly avoid a complete collapse, where nearly everyone would lose horribly.
The Wisconsin newspapers generate daily hit pieces on Walker, thus faithfully acting in their role as the guardians of the Democrat Party.
Except for the usual crazies that write comments on the online newpaper articles, the average Wisconsinite does not pay any attention now.
Walker can weather just about anything they throw at him. The lies don’t stick.
