Sort of apropos, the NY Times recently did a piece looking at the recent divergent paths of Wisconsin and Minnesota. The "twin cities" of Duluth, MN and Superior, WI have taken on some glaring differences since Wisconsin's turn right and Minnesota's continuance down the path of their traditionally scandinavian styled liberalism.
There is nothing about Wisconsin that resembles the rest of the nation. In fact, as Wisconsin goes, so NOT goes the nation. We can always count on the cities of that state to pick the right President, keeping the state blue. This is the good part. Walker is a joke. He was kicked out of Marquette University for cheating. You can bet that anything positive that one can say about Wisconsin is NOT attributed to Walker's policies. Something might look good on paper, but you bet that inequality is at an all-time high, and the Conservative yahoos out in the sticks of that state are fat, dumb, and happy. This is not good.
With Walker, what you see is NOT what you get. Serious presidential candidate? Not a chance in hell. Going from the great President Obama to simpleton Scott Walker would be like going from Jesus to George Zimmerman.

How open minded and progressive of you to call people fat and dumb that you have no clue about.
Pathetic Lexus.
Actually, Lexus posted a literate honest opinion and gave examples of why. Out of the two posts, I would think the latter is the pathetic one.
that isnt a madison paper. its a twin city right wing paper if you would do your research.
2 major papers in the TC, star tribune(left) pioneer press (right). this is a pioneer press article written by a conservative white male, of course it will portray walker favorably.
give me independent non partisan facts riko, then we can talk.
So you want a souRce written by a black liberal? Are you saying there is no $987 million surplus and a $200 million rainy day fund and the rest going back to the taxpayer?
Of course I uunderstand that when property taxes go up, landlords pass that increase on to their tenants.
Did you know that when property taxes go DOWN, landlords generally pocket the reduction and laugh all the way to the bank?
That is why Walker's proposal will rip off renters.
And if jobs are created, that is great for the small number of people who become newly employed and bad for all the already-employed renters who can expect another rent increase.
Employed tenants will get an income tax decrease. Rents will go up much less than if there was no property tax decrease. Are you sour grapes about Walkers successes?
Heck, I just may vote for Christie. Anyone republican who doesn't bow down to the tea party is ok in my book because that means they are a moderate. I'm tired of all the whimpy republicans catering to the tea party like Romney. Christie may be a bully and a bad ass but he stands his ground. I like him because he cares about this country without all the social issues that conservatives want to make as their platform.
Turning the bus around on flat tires doesn't count for much.
Dropping 33% in job growth in 5 years is no indicator of a healthy Wisconsin recovery.
Gee I would like to see the US with a budget surplus, rainy day fund and a tax cut. You sure would be crowing about how great Obama was if that had occurred!

Haha Where is Obama's surplus? Obama can't shine Walker's shoes. You left wing wackos tried to unseat Walker twice and got your butts kicked. Now his policies are a success and you are sore losers.
Actually my point is that for a blue state, his numbers are pretty good-especially considering the amount of controversy thats occurred there.
And I dont want him running for president, I can't see him winning a general election, and I want to see Republicans run someone who has a chance.
LIke a Romney, or McCain, or Dole. NO MORE RHINOs. Conservatives will stay home and you can have Hillary.
