Walker Campaign Limping

Scott Walker is re-writing the manual about how not to end a campaign. Some of the mistakes have been:

* Having your extremely-unflattering student government history surface in the paper on the Marquette University campus - - from which you dropped out.

* Spinning from revelations reported by the Journal Sentinel that you didn't put in a place during an eight years+ tenure as county Exec a system to inspect county buildings (this year pieces have fallen off the Courthouse, an airport terminal ceiling onto a passenger, and, with a fatality, onto a teenager at O'Donnell Park).

Many buildings have not been inspected since the 1990's, and money needed for repairs totals nearly $200 million - - along with about the same amount needed for the parks' system, too.

Spoiler alert for Walker's response to what the Journal Sentinel calls a "haphazard" approach to inspections: Blame Tom Ament and the County Board.

* Watching your running mate Rebecca Kleefisch completely implode over screwy anti-gay remarks (gay marriage leads to marriages with tables, clocks and dogs) - - only to have Kleefisch's openly-gay uncle say that her belated apology was not extended to him, according to Dan Bice, investigative columnist at the state's largest daily paper.

* Having your campaign team bar Kleefisch from an interview with Bice.

If this is how Walker behaved as a student leader, governed in Milwaukee, and manages a campaign, is there any reason to think he'd make a competent Governor?
