A former top aide to Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker (R) fired off a series of tweets Monday afternoon explaining why the governor dropped out of the race.

Less than an hour after news broke that Walker would suspend his campaign, Liz Mair — a former Walker adviser who was forced to resign earlier this year after criticizing various aspects of Iowa politics — tweeted out more two dozen tweets explaining the governor's demise.

Mair blamed the governor's sagging poll numbers less on the anti-establishment political climate and more on a number of strategic miscalculations.

Liz Mair sounds like a very bright young lady.

You got anything nice to say, Liz? .. :|

What can you say nice about a failed campaign from a promising conservative who's own decisions to pander to the GOPe caused him the race? Let's not get too sentimental. Time to look forward.

Liz Mair, drunk tweeting isn’t pretty or lucrative. Plus, BI, the “business” news source for Democrat talking points. A double win.

Months ago, I spent about an hour on google and elsewhere doing a “background check” on Walker. He is 100% owned by the Chamber of Commerce/Rove/Bush axis. There was enough proof to choke a horse. I wonder what percentage of FReepers bother to do their OWN research on Repub candidates? Sadly, probably very few.

They either don’t take the barest of time to research or they want liberals in power. Because you cannot soend more than a couple min typing the names of any GOPE candidate into any search engine without tripping over terrabyttes of leftist crap they supported.

In an hour you could have an encyclopedic history bookmarked. In a day you’d have their SS number, credit history and the names of the people they dated in grade 3.

He had 90 paid staff in Iowa, which was not sustainable on the diminishing funding stream.

Any way you parse explanations, he ran out of money because a) he was spending it far too freely, and b) his donors ran out of confidence in him.

If that is the best he can do as a manager, better he’s out.
