Mase and Donna # are both wrong. Visits to London are famously tough for conservative politicians, because the media is very 'sensalist' oriented. Walker wisely did not fall into the trap laid. So, yes he 'punted', wisely.
Besides, his purpose in going to England is Wisconsin economic development, trade mission related. He is on State business. No reason to get into politics, when he courting businesses.
Didn't the grown ups tell you? Never, ever talk politics or religion when doing business.
Wow! If a basic science question from one of our allies stumps Walker, what will he do when the not-so-friendly countries asks him a hard question?
I was just reading a Milwaukee message board: Seems democrats were really hoping Walker would have answered those questions, since he was on a taxpayer supported trade trip, liberals were ready to hit him with ethic violation complaints if hid did anything, including, in their mind answering the evolution question, that resembled campaigning.
Here is a specific comment posted on the Wisconsin State Democrat Party facebook page by a Milwaukee area democrat official:
He should not have answered it. He was there on a Trade mission, he also did not answer Foreign Policy questions and others that did not pertain to trade. He was there on the tax payers of WI dime and as Gov not as a candidate. Had he answered any of those he could have been investigated for ethics violations
That is exactly Liberal are all about themselves.Walker is a breath of Fresh air and we Conservative are about the truth and what works, Education will get you there my friend, but working your way up and over coming diversity is the American way.
We have found how the most elegant President is (Obama) and he has created a mess, way beyond this thread.
Walker is our common sense working man. Not a air up politician.
I don't know, exactly how "surging" can it be when you have 15% of the Iowa vote? That's not a comment about Walker but a comment about the Bloomberg headline. Bush, meanwhile is "struggling" with 8% of the Iowa vote. Rand Paul has 14% but he's apparently not verb/participle-worthy nor is Huckabee at 10%. Ben Carson has 9%.
The "I told you so" part of the Iowa poll shows Christie at 4% with a 54% unfavorability rating. Apparently, this only comes as a surprise to the news media along the NYC/DC corridor who live in a bubble and think Christie's problem is Bridgegate..
Although the Iowa poll was taken before Romney dropped out, poll participants were also asked to name their second choice candidate. Who do you think the Romney voters chose second? Mike Huckabee. Bush only went up one and no one changed places in the order.
Perry scored best (62%) on ideology being about right but it didn't help his poll numbers (3%).
There is also stuff about the Democrats but the only significant thing I see there is the distance between Clinton (56%) and Warren (16%).
I've heard some news types say they think someone may come from out of nowhere on the Republican side but who?
Recent news is that Scott Walker is in a dead heat with Jeb Bush. This is good news. Please, NOT Jeb Bush! I Tweeted Karl Rove to support Scott Walker. Not only does Scott Walker have what it takes to be an effective President; he has what it takes to beat the Democrat Smear Machine. He is doing that quite well.
What is the difference between Sarah Palin and Scott Walker? Sarah Palin has a college degree.
Obviously, a college degree is not necessary to be qualified for the presidency, but it does say something about your ability to see things through. I am not sure that the country will elect someone who dropped out of college because it may have too hard for him or for some other reason to be determined.
