Walker puts would-be fan to sleep
To the slam at Walker's national ambitions in Salon.com, add another thumbs-down at Vox.com., the new political website set up by ex-Washington Post staffer Ezra Klein.

His delivery is stilted. His facial expressions are alternately blank and smug. He chooses strange words to emphasize ("that's just not the American dree-eeam," he says twice). Overall, he looks and sounds like a whole lot like a Milwaukee County Executive — and not at all like a potential president.

Wait'll he gets a little older and develops jowls like Nixon.
I saw a brief glimpse of the Walker headquarters Tues. night on the news and surprise-surprise the crowd looked to be 96% white males 3.9% white Females and .!% percent of people not like the others.
I think he is attempting (a very poor one at that) to copy President Obama's speaking style complete with the sort stutter at the beginning of sentences. Then at the end it builds, he keeps talking without a pause and gets louder and louder. Not very convincing. On a side note, I always wondered what is with the unemotional expressions of his family standing behind him. They always look so glum and sour.
