A former WI Sen. GOP aide tells Republicans to get off Scott Walker's bus

This was a guest column sent to Madison Daily Page columnist Jack Craver.

It's written by Bob Schwoch, who's identified as "a UW professor of communications and a former chief-of-staff to Republican Sens. Carol Buettner and Peggy Rosenzweig, as well as Democratic Rep. Peggy Krusick."

This governor is not hard to read. He’s a giant fiery ball of ambition. When he sneezes he compares it to how Reagan sneezed. His first major act, after netting a modest 52 percent in a GOP wave election, was to pick the most dangerous and inflammatory political fight he could think of. His next major act was to propose a budget that might get him re-elected in Texas, but not Wisconsin. Why?

Clearly he doesn’t care about getting re-elected in Wisconsin. He doesn’t care about protests, or poll numbers, or recalls. He barely even cares if what he’s proposing passes. So long as he gets attention for proposing it.

Scott Walker is driving a fast bus to Washington, estimated time of arrival 2012. Fourteen of his Senate passengers jumped off and hid the moment they knew what was happening. The other 19 might want to wake up before their own districts disappear in the rear-view.

Get three of you together. Congratulations. You’re now the governor of Wisconsin.

5. Yep... he is another Salad Sarah... using his notoriety for personal gains...

He will be recalled or for sure a one term Gov.... then he will charge $100,000 per speaking engagement from RW nutjobs that think he has been unfairly treated.

He takes off in the bus and leaves us hold the diesel bill and the diner charge.
