It's going to be really embarrassing for Wisconsin once the rest of the country sees the idiot they elected three times out of spite and he implodes on the national scale. At least Sarah Palin can motivate her base with purestrain crazy. Walker is the luckiest fucker to be put up against weak and/or incompitent opponents when his base is riled up against the socialist in the Whitehouse.

How can he answer any questions at this stage? He has to keep crazies on board and appear as a Reasonable Conservative to business interests.

So, why is Nigel Farage of UKIP playing to an empty house at CPAC? Did word go round that he might not be a good person to be seen enjoying? I thought his stock is still pretty high with the right-wing assholesphere. Did I miss the memo?

Does that guy even give a poo poo about the general at this point? Is he just burgeoning his TRUE CONSERVATIVE cred? He seems to be pushing redline at all times this past month.

That's what I'm wondering. There's a nascent "Liberals are blowing this issue out of proportion" feeling in the conservative movement but nowhere near enough that I would ever expect a sitting official to dive in and take a swing at a universities policies of rape reporting. It's just bizarre.

The fun part is going to be when someone asks him about it soon. Can't really fall back on the "This isn't something I'm an expert in so don't ask me" when you're loving around with the actual language in a schools rules. I mean you can but you'll look like...an...idiot. Goddammit he's one step ahead of me again.

That's kind of funny because it's the exact excuse Christie used when taking money away from Planned Parenthood, he claimed repeatedly it was just budget related and had nothing to do with ideology....but now at CPAC he's touting it as pro-life credentials. Maybe Walker is just counting on rapists being a big part of the GOP tent in a few years.

Money raising issues aside, do we know anything about whether Walker has attracted any major talent to his campaign? Any big names for campaign manager/consiglieri? Hell, if Bachmann could get Ed Rollins to crew on her doomed ghost ship of a campaign (even though I'm sure it was just for a check and some publicity), Walker should be able to get someone decent.

Isn't also exactly what he said about the changing of the the education's mission statement that caused such controversy? Didn't he say "It wasn't us, they requested it" and then immediately that was proven to be a lie and he had to go with "It was just a mistake" and then it came out that his people specifically requested it?
