Still In Wisconsin

Hey Wisconsin: turns out Scott Walker's just not that into you anymore.

From yesterday's NYT (emphasis mine):

In an interview, Mr. Walker said he was unconcerned about the appearance of spending so much time and energy courting donors, noting that he expected to do plenty of retail campaigning in the months ahead.

“Oh, I think along the way I’ll be at plenty of dairy events and farm events and factories just like when I was governor,” Mr. Walker said.

Ah yes, when you were Governor. I assume Scotty will now stop drawing a salary, since he apparently no longer sees himself as Governor.

This Walker quote should be widely circulated. Here's hoping his arrogance, overconfidence, and stupidity will do him in.
