OK one last time before I totally lose interest. Less than 30% of the Wisconsin College faculty have tenure. Tenure is now and always has been very hard to get. I am a former college professor. Very few ever get it. Its a small potatoes issue. Why is a guy who wants to be president of the United States bothering with this when we have so many really bad problems in our country?

I’ll go farther. Why won’t Walker announce his candidacy if he is supposed to be the front runner? What is he scared of?

Reagan didn't announce his candidacy until November of 1979. On the one hand, Wisconsin has a biennial budget, and Walker wants to get that finished before he goes full-time.

Part of campaign strategy has to do with using the timing of an announcement in order to maximize publicity, etc. Some guys start in two years early (Jimmy Carter), and it works. Others wait until later (Ronald Reagan), and it works.

Each election is different. I lived and worked in Wisconsin under Walker. He's not afraid, and he's not trying to sell a book or get the #2 spot. He intends to win, and timing the announcement for a time when more people are paying attention is part of his strategy, it appears.

Considering your vacuous comments regarding Article V you are an educated idiot.

Think Rudy Guiliani and his application of the "Broken Windows" theory.
