Scott Walker’s Electoral Record Is Just As Impressive As It Looks

Expect Republican Gov. Scott Walker, if he runs for president in 2016, to repeatedly tout the fact that he won election three times in four years in Wisconsin, a purple state. But is Walker’s feat really all that impressive? …

Some conservatives have argued, however, that merely looking at Walker’s margin of victory misses a key point: Walker is really conservative. He implemented conservative policies in a purple state, and he was still re-elected by the margin you’d expect of an average Republican.

I tend to agree with this line of thinking. CONT.
