The crew you describe as RINO's are the only part of the GOP that are in touch booner. No Teabag favored candidate will win the Republican nomination, because that would be political suicide. You'll see.

My guess (a wild guess at this point)- a Bush/ Romney ticket, Mitt running for VP. And, they will lose.

Nooooooo! That would be way too boring.

Palin/Nugent 2016!

I'm going to have "Vote for the Quitter & the Shitter" merchandise made up as soon as they announce who is top of the ticket.

And so it begins. The Libs panties are getting in a wad over Scott Walker:

Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker has a divisive message for winning the White House: http://slate.me/1JPpSVp

See, Walker seems to believe that sticking to conservative values with a conservative message is the key to gaining conservative support. And according to Slate’s Jamelle Bouie, that makes him really, really divisive:

Scott Walker?s divisive message: The Wisconsin governor doesn?t think he needs minorities to win in 2016.

Never too early to smear, eh?

A far left blog called cognitive dissonance?

Right. Gotta get yer game up if you want credibility.

Any one interested in Walker's bonafides all's they have to do is look at the state of WI and see how he's turned that state around. Releaved it from the strangle-hold the public sector unions had.

A sign that you lefties are starting to take Walker seriously? Smear, hit pieces are coming out of the woodwork!

Oh really?

Republicans who want to make a play for the White House by positioning theirs as the party that can govern, in contrast to hapless Democrats, could face a significant obstacle: their governors.

From New Jersey to Wisconsin to Louisiana, GOP governors with their eyes on the White House have presided over unbalanced budgets, unfunded pension liabilities, credit downgrades and sluggish job growth.

That comes in contrast to an increasingly rosy economic picture nationally, with a strong December jobs report that capped off the best year in terms of economic growth for the nation since 1999. Unemployment, at 5.8 percent, was below predictions, and job growth has continued for month after month.

Three of the most prominent potential 2016 contenders — New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker and Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal — could face the most scrutiny, and have the toughest time explaining, their economic records for 2016.

It’s a troubling prospect for the party as it prepares to offer Republicans as the “party of solutions” in contrast to the Democrats, which it says has offered ineffective policies that contributed to a slow recovery and increasing inequality in the nation.

Scott Walker
Is he running? Probably.
Who wants him to run? Walker's record as governor of Wisconsin excites many Republicans. He's got a solid résumé as a small-government conservative. His social-conservative credentials are also strong, but without the culture-warrior baggage that sometimes brings. And Walker has won three difficult elections in a blue-ish state.
Can he win the nomination? No one knows. For all his strengths, Walker has never run a national campaign and isn't exactly Mr. Personality.
When will he announce? Spring.
What else do we know? Slate's John Dickerson reports that Walker was the breakout star at the Iowa Freedom Summit, saying the governor elevated "his stature as a candidate who might achieve the elusive synthesis of pleasing the party base while also attracting a general election audience." He could benefit in Iowa from his proximity

Heh...referencing extreme left wing moonbat sources is further proof of panic within the latte liberal crowd.

When you've got the lamestream lefty media focusing hard on you, you must be doing something right. To wit, Time Magazine (it's still around, huh?) does a hit piece on 'ol Scott:

Scott Walker Comes To Washington to Bash Washington

A rising Republican star carves out a role as the beltway outsider.

Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker came to the nation’s capital Friday to attack Washington’s culture, dismiss its wisdom and call for removing its power, offering new clarity on his strategic approach for earning the chance to live downtown by winning the 2016 presidential election."

But that's a major qualification to Fox News viewers.

NBC’s “Meet the Press” host Chuck Todd said that Scott Walker was “the other big winner” of Mitt Romney’s decision not to run for president on Friday’s “Hugh Hewitt Show.”

“I think look, Jeb Bush is a big winner today, because it ends this fight with Romney with all these staffers. Scott Walker is the other big winner. And you know, Chris Christie, very minor. You know, Christie’s got a lifeline at least in the New York media market and with some money and things like that. But this is a big moment for Walker. I think Walker has an opportunity” Todd argued."

It was a very good thing for Romney to essentially get 'turffed-out'

Why do Liberals Hate?



Forget what the polls say. Polls this far out are notoriously worthless in predicting Presidential nominees. Right now Scott Walker is sitting in the catbird’s seat for the 2016 Republican Presidential nomination.

Virtually everyone who is contemplating running for President in 2016 or who has ever contemplated running for President in their life went to Iowa last weekend but unless you were a regular reader of RedState you would have no idea that anyone other than Scott Walker delivered a speech. This is just one indication of how thoroughly and completely Walker has stolen the early show from the other nominees and sucked all the oxygen from the room.

But Walker’s domination of the first 2016 cattle call isn’t the reason that he has to be considered the favorite right now. The simple fact is that Walker is the only candidate in the field who has already won what could be considered two national elections.

How many national elections or otherwise has Hillery won, eh?

Name the two national positions Scott Walker holds. OK, I'll make it easy, name just one.

The woman was elected Senator of NY State twice. Doh!

Operative words = "considered to be"

In that case, we can consider Hillary Clinton to have won two national elections. Right?

Uh, slightly different scenarios MissKitt...

*chirping crickets*?

Can't find any dirt or a controversial item with which to bash this rising star, boys?

Here's a news item though:

Shock Poll: Scott Walker Top Choice for Iowa Republicans in 2016, Jeb Bush Lags at Eight Percent.



"Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker is the top choice for president in 2016 among Republican voters in Iowa, surging past a crowded field of rivals to take the lead in a Bloomberg/Des Moines Register poll of prospective Republican candidates for president."

Breitbart News Network

As been said, Hillery is yesterday's news...

Is he related to Palin?, they seem to have the same rhetoric in common

I think they're saving it for when they need it.

Corruption | Scott Walker Watch

Scottwalker is a typical politician.

A corrupt sociopath.

He could run for either party.

MADISON — At least two companies that received money from Gov. Scott Walker's chief economic development agency later outsourced jobs to foreign countries, WKOW-TV reported Wednesday.

One of the companies received a second award from the Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation after the fact, the television station reported.

Both Eaton Corporation and Neenah-based Plexus Corporation received millions of dollars in financial awards from WEDC, only to later lay off workers whose jobs were taken by employees at the companies' foreign facilities.

And wouldn't you know it, guess whose campaign was funded by these two companies?

In their failed efforts to destroy Scott Walker, The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel has recently become a parody of Liberalism run amok.

"Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker has buzz. He has impressed conservative activists in Des Moines, and is the front-runner for likely Republican Iowa caucus-goers, according to a Bloomberg Politics-Des Moines Register poll published this past weekend.

Supporters say the 47-year-old has more diverse qualifications than the other Republicans: A non-Washington Republican who has won tough contests in a blue state, taken on labor unions and has appeal to the conservative faith community and the business constituency.

There is one credential that he doesn't have: a post-high school education. America hasn't elected a president without a college degree since Harry Truman."

Can Scott Walker be president without a college degree?
