"Liberal" MSNBC has been heavily promoting him lately...today they're actually giving the asshole free air time.
Chris Christie. Scott Walker. Ted Cruz. No wonder the GOP is so depressed.

He spends more time out of state raising $$ than in state. But he has control of the Koch #teaparty legislature here in Wisconsin.

(16,423 posts)The earlier the candidate comes out, the more time he will spend talking, the more likely it is that he will say something stupid and the more time he will spend under scrutiny. All of that talk of "X for president in 2016" is ultimately counter-productive.

I think the guy has too many negatives. Chris Christie, by contrast, has inoculated himself against many of those negatives. He gets crossover votes and is perceived (not locally but nationally) to be less divisive. Ted Cruz is a lunatic who only owns a corner of his party, though he holds more of 'em hostage.

Court filings seek to stop Doe probe into recall elections
http://www.jsonline.com/news/statepolitics/court-filings-target-judge-overseeing-probe-into-conservative-groups-b99145927z1-232536631.html
Madison Three unnamed people have asked the Wisconsin Court of Appeals to temporarily halt a secret investigation of campaign fundraising and spending during Wisconsin's recent recall elections.
Madison attorney Dean Strang filed the five motions Thursday, according to online court records. The filings name special prosecutor Francis Schmitz and initially namedretired Kenosha County Circuit Judge Barbara Kluka, who was originally in charge of the investigation.
The filings were amended this week to reflect that the investigation is now being overseen by retired Appeals Court Judge Gregory Peterson. Kluka has not said why she recused herself.
Copies of the court records were not available because Strang has filed motions to seal the petitions and related records. The filings, called petitions for supervisory writs, are requests that higher courts review how the investigation is being conducted.
Strang is seeking to stay the investigation and also has filed motions suggesting the matter be sent to the state Supreme Court. For now, the cases are before the Madison-based Court of Appeals panel....

(32,048 posts)Morning Edition had a SOFTBALL interview with Snot Wanker today! Look at the comments section ripping Wanker a new one! http://www.npr.org/2013/11/20/246158801/gov-scott-walker-recounts-first-term-battles-in-new-book
As I posted earlier, ABC also served as Walker's promotional vehicle too. Jonathan Karl (an alum of the right wing Leadership Institute) had a softball "will you run in 2016" interview on Sunday's "This Week".
As far as I know, neither "liberal media" outlet asked Walker at all about Walker's campaign being under investigation or challenged his framing of how he governed Wisconsin.
