NY Times' Nate Silver Rates Scott Walker Among Most-Conservative Governors

The New York Times' resident number-cruncher Nate Silver devises some measurements and finds that Scott Walker is among the most-conservative Governors in the country.

Farther to the right than other high-profile GOP conservative governors, like Kasich of Ohio, for example, or Scott of Florida.

Notes Silver:

...governors like Chris Christie don’t have the freedom to pursue every line item in the G.O.P.’s national agenda if they want to be re-elected. There may be some Republican governors, like Mr. Walker of Wisconsin, who have the political talent to get re-elected in blue states despite pushing those states to the right, and these governors are extremely valuable to the Republican Party. 

More reason for Walker to make himself available to GOP primary voters in 2016.
