Considering that judges are politicians in robes - and the Wisconsin Supreme Court is very partisan even in that aspect, it's a political win for him, but not one for the people of Wisconsin.

I dont know much about Walkers "track record" which is why I have neither defended, nor attacked it..

However Obamas track record is very much public and you cant defend Obamas, while attacking Walkers, regardless of how bad it is, without being a complete idiot.

If you don't know anything about Walker's very public tenure as governor (it's not like it's been a big secret or something), maybe you should stop commenting in threads about him and also quit trying to turn them into anti-Obama threads. There are plenty of those in P&OC's main forum for you to stick to.

I do live with it. I'm not going to expect the Democrats in the state legislature to try to reverse this decision 50+ times like the Republicans in Washington DC have with the ACA. I'm also not going to call for the end of Wisconsin's state supreme court, etc. like Republicans have after the gay marriage decision.

No worries.

Don't underestimate him. While I consider him a terrible governor, he is an extremely crafty and successful politician. Also, he's obviously well funded.

The uneducated supporters of Scott Walker don't care that Walker does not have a college degree.

I know wiki has charts that show the standard of living on an average local wage and how they stack up in ranking, I would like to see WI on that chart and how it compares with say 10 years ago. If it looks bad, I will accept your argument.
A local liberal group has posted this map showing the info I needed when asking you this question above. Accoeding to the map, though WI makes less than the national avereage they, on that wage maintain a 5% better standard of living on that wage than the national average. Since I grew up in Pittsburgh I was able to check out their numbers as well, seems the Pittsburgh metro area is near equal with Wisconsin in standard of living per average wage.

Shoot. If college drop out is a qualification for a good President, I'm vastly more qualified than Walker.
I guess I need to put my Republican hat back on. It's been in the closet for quite a while now, even though I'm still a registered member.
