A little too early for polling. Winner might not be in the race yet.

That is my hope...Scott Walker all the way!
Dude, Walker has been heavily promoted by the establishment media to siphon conservative support from Paul and Cruz. Look at his fiscal record as Governor and you'll that spending went up year after year. That's the litmus test for a conservative republican vs your standard Romney/Bush type. That makes Walker an establishment type candidate but thrown into muddy the waters while being backed up by the likes of Fox News.


He's also the man that took his state from near bankruptcy to a surplus in the budget. He didn't get scared off by the union thugs and billions of dollars from out of state to have him recalled. It would be nice to have a STRONG leader that stands up for what's best no matter the repercussions to his personal career. That's a real man/leader. That's why he has my support (should he decide to run).
The same can be said for my Gov Snider that had over a billion dollars in a surplus, and while there was some responsible cuts, overall there's been a major pension tax increase that (raised lots of money) many retirees despise and for good reason. Furthermore, this surplus just vanished somehow and then they sicced us w/ a ballot initiative to raise the sales tax 16% which we just murdered. My point is that Walker (because of his good record dealing w/ the teacher unions like Christie) is being used by the insider money to throw him into this race because he is perceived as a good conservative yet he still has the same foreign and civil liberty policies as Bush and thus is initially stealing polling %s/supporters and money from other anti-establishment candidates like Paul and Cruz to a lesser extent.
