Former GOP aide to WIS Senate Repubs: "You’re toast if you stay on this bus. Here’s your way off it"

A former GOP aide to Senate Republicans:
You can beat Walker by Bob Schwoch

.........................

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.

I’m not the only political watcher walking around Madison wondering what’s holding the GOP caucuses together on the Walker-for-Vice-President express. Saunter into a bar near the Capitol, find people in suits and eavesdrop for five minutes. It requires only a two-year sense of history to identify the last photogenic gubernatorial novice who turned into a conservative folk hero when a presidential candidate needed some far-right street cred.

So attention Alberta Darling. Attention Dan Kapanke. Attention Dale Schultz (well, Dale, you already get it, apparently, but you need some support). Attention all you Republican senators who need a few union votes to hold your districts. I served alongside you and I respect you. So pretend I’m your staffer.

You’re toast if you stay on this bus. Here’s your way off it.

1. I read that here earlier today.

I did sign the petition to recall Kapanke yesterday.

2. VP? That makes some sense. But he is also lining up his opposition

in the general all across the nation. We have his number.
