WASHINGTON (AP) Criticizing Washington as a city of power-hungry elites, Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker on Friday offered a preview of his likely White House message between private job interviews with those looking to help his expected presidential campaign.
"As much as I like coming here, I love going home even more," Walker said during a speech delivered just a block from the White House complex.
Sounding familiar campaign themes of smaller government, greater accountability and general distaste for the nation's capital, Walker looked to use his visit to build interest in his potential campaign. Privately, he was expanding his political operation as he fights for early momentum in the crowded field of GOP White House prospects.
"The best way we move this country is by transferring power from Washington out to the hardworking people of this country," Walker said during his first address to a Washington audience this year.

Obama won WI in 2008 +14
Obama won WI in 2012 +7
Walker won WI Gov in 2010 +7
Walker won WI Gov recall in 2012 +7
Walker won WI Gov in 2014 +6
Why does he keep winning a Presidential blue state? Jeb will draw the attention and I bet Walker wins the primary, just my guess.
