Scott Walker Is In

++Scott Walker announces as "a fresh face who will provide new leadership in Washington with new ideas" . He is campaigning as an outsider to Washington. The Wisconsin governor , who fought a recall effort, is a professional politician, who has been in politics his whole life. A college drop-out, he became the favorite of the Koch Brothers because of his effort to "bust" the state's unions. 

++He has taken a sledgehammer to the prize jewel of Wisconsin, its university system, and gutted its budget in ways that threaten the world-class nature of the University of Wisconsin's world-class reputation. He most recently signed a 20-week abortion bill and purposely ensured that rape was not included as a reason for the procedure. 

++His vaunted jobs program failed to produce a percentage of what he promised. His administration is plagued by corruption and he himself is subject to several "John Doe" Grand Jury investigations. 

++It will be interesting to see what he proposes for a national program. In the GOP polls , he is ahead in Iowa and competitive in New Hampshire.
