Hell of a lot better than the 3 billion one he inherited from Doyle.

Look Bucky, it is painfully obvious that you can't handle the truth. Many of these Walker voters were also Obama voters. They are moderates, independents, folks who understand that tough choices have to be made.

In the long run, Walker did what was inevitable. Someone eventually was going to have to put an end to the public sector union grip on tax payer dollars.

I emailed Scott Walker today...
...and urged him to run for President in 2016


I'm sure he read it and immediately called all his supporters to tell them he's running.

He won by a landslide Tuesday
Until he read this and realized you didn't know what you were talking about.

He won with 52%.

He's completing his degree.

A formal degree is not the only way to become educated. But it's a great start.

And this is why Walker has a chance, if he can tap into the anti-intellectual herp-derp wing of the GOP.



If you compared the average IQ/education of the electorate in 2008 to the average IQ/education of the electorate in 2014, what do you think you'd find?

It's pretty much a fact that dems win when the electorate is "dumber".

52% vs 46+% is a pretty good win...... for a guy that was targeted for as long as he was I'd say landslide.

Yep. Just that the "Party of the People" would have a field day he didn't have one.

They've dogged him in WI about it.

This isn't the 1950's or 1700-1800s for that matter.

The world in a difficult place in general and our economy is extremely complex. Being governor is a nice feather in his hat but a lack of a degree is an obvious flaw.

I see that Sucky Badger came by last night, along with his condescending air of superiority.

Well Obama has plenty of degrees and so did GWB and they did a pretty good job of running this country into the ground. The lack of a college degree wouldn't stop me from voting for him (and I am someone who values education a shite ton). He has a record of running and fixing a state and that is better than a piece of paper. IMO

This is President of the United States.

Think about how many jobs he wouldn't qualify for and people want him to be President without going to college? Would you vote for a democrat without a degree?

Here we go again. The old "Outdated" and "Complex" argument. Integrity, resolve, accountability and adhering to the Constitution are never out of style. Trying to associate a lack of a college degree to certain failure as POTUS only underscores Democrat paranoia and lack of confidence in their own ideology. Nice try, though.

No way people without a college degree can be successful.

Just look at those losers like Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, and Michael Dell.

Walker has been a very successful governor and deserves credit for winning 3 elections in 4 years. I'm sorry that I have a hard time voting for someone without a degree for POTUS. I don't believe I am being an elitist for having a certain criteria.

Which is more about being a good organizer, CEO type person, and leader then book smarts. Obama has many degrees and the potential to be one of the most intellectual POTUS that we have ever had (lot of really smart guys prior to 1900), but he is a horrible CEO and leader and that is why his adminstration is a disaster.

I never said you couldn't be successful without a degree or that I don't respect those without a degree. I just find it hard to vote for someone without one for POTUS. A degree doesn't mean you will be a good president either.

Experience overrules a piece of paper.

Certainly true.

The only president we ever had that had a Ph.D was arguably the worst ever.
