The wild card: Governor Scott Walker

Why? Put simply, Walker is the one Republican governor in America with the best record of bringing labor unions to heel. He has also survived practically everything the labor union political machine can throw at him and would be able to brave similar circumstances at the national level if he were offered the job. With Walker’s style of union legislation becoming popular with GOP governors, he would also be a good person to interface with state-level authorities to push the administration’s agenda.

Why not? Walker is a wild card for pretty much the same reason Michelle Rhee is a wild card — he’s already a miniature celebrity and a polarizing figure. Romney might decide it’s not worth the bother to be associated with him. He also might not want to leave Wisconsin, or fight again so soon.
