7. His past cannot be a personal attack
He was kicked out of Marquette U - following a student government election scandal.

12. I think there's a difference between oppo research and "He's ugly
and his momma dresses him funny." If the man has a history of being unethical in his professional or political capacity, then I would say that character is the sort of thing people would reasonably want to take into account. But in his short little time as governor, I think his ethics and priorities are being pretty well exposed--and they that is all about the naked awfulnes of his ideology.

6. Here's a good piece...
no smoking gun, but he's definitely an "end justifies the means" type of guy:

Walker’s campaign record murky; the Marquette Tribune

http://marquettetribune.org/2010/10/26/news/walker-wpo1-tw2-je3-one-question-controversial-claims-continue-in-walkers-campaign/

Walker attended Marquette from 1986 t0 1990, but never attained a degree (see page 5). His sophomore year, Walker ran for president of the Associated Students of Marquette University (ASMU, the former title for Marquette Student Government). He was accused of violating campaign guidelines on multiple occasions.
The Tribune reported then that he was found guilty of illegal campaigning two weeks before his candidacy became official. Later, a Walker campaign worker was seen placing brochures under doors at the YMCA. Door-to-door campaigning was strictly prohibited.
Walker initially denied this but later admitted to the violation, which resulted in lost campaign privileges at the YMCA.
In the run-up to election day, the Tribune’s editorial board endorsed Walker’s opponent John Quigley, but said either candidate had the potential to serve effectively.
However, the Tribune revised its editorial the following day, calling Walker “unfit for presidency.” The column cited Walker’s distribution of a mudslinging brochure about Quigley that featured statements such as “constantly shouting about fighting the administration” and “trying to lead several ineffective protests of his own.”

11. Disgusting
He didn't just turn out this way on November 10. I am sure that with a little digging the truth about him will be uncovered. This is the way of transparancy - we need to know more about who is holding positions of power, especially when they are corrupt.

I want my democratic leadership to get busy and start uncovering the truth and putting it out there. If we do not do this, our country is going to be in a lot of trouble.

13. Yes, Rachel did.
Check her shows. Apparently he de-unionized something else, brought in private contractors, and lost a whole bunch of money.
Had to go back to the same union people he fired.
