Distress Signal: Scott Walker On The National Stage

Now he's lecturing the Congress.

As I've said here before, people who know him better than do I say he has national ambitions.

Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa seems really awesome but the good Walker stuff doesn't start until almost 3 minutes in:

Walker's kids will go back to their public school and see that their school is "the same or in many cases better because there'll be more money because of those reforms to hire more teachers..." etc.

Polifact, where are you on this?

First, Walker has to survive the recall effort here in Wisconsin. Speaking of which, the place to go to get signatures is Miller Park. I believe the Brewers have a very liberal policy concerning free speech rights and political activity at Millet Park.

Also, I agree: Poltifact needs to verify Walker's claims about that school district outside of Green Bay.

I don't agree- he does not have to worry about WI anymore. What's done is done. he supporters will not really leave him (in spite of what blue bloggers like to say) we are too polarized now and you just do not disagree with your side. Those who do, well it's only temporary grandstanding to make a show for the recalls etc.
Walker just needs to use WI as a platform. It only matters how it looks on Fox and other out-of-state venues. He had that proved to him in the last election, how many people who knew of his actual performance in Milw. Co. said he performed poorly, left messes, some expensive, some legal. Yet he played to the larger audience, fit the times and what was seen as "needed" by the money people and won. He just wants to repeat that.
I don't know Scott Walker, I sit in my house and follow headlines. But to me, it seems obvious. Yes, he wants "something" national. And I say he's still really disappointed there was no violence and he was not able to look strong by calling in the troops. That would have been a scene he would really have liked to play I'm sure.

Accurate analysis includes more than just Kaukauna.

Walker is a political sociopath. .He is seriously adept at duping people and may indeed have higher aspirations. His wink picture after he won the election that sad night sent a haunting message. . We must never underestimate Walker, an entity without a conscience and empathy. He is but a puppet for corporate America and is simmering with deep contempt for Obama and the left. It's time to give this monster a reality check. Closing in on 200,000 pledges to recall this Wisconsin tragedy.

If he's got national ambitions he's gonna need surgery. On that Face the Nation he was side by side with three other guys who were at least not nauseating to look at. It's a telegenic world folks and Scott looks like someone who got a little too much forceps pressure.
