The Latest Threat To Walker's Campaign*

No, it's not Mark Neumann officially announcing his campaign. But it is somebody probably more qualified than all of the announced candidates put together:

However another candidate from western Wisconsin has turned in his paperwork: Jared Christiansen from Ellsworth, who's 17-years-old. Since May, Jared has been working on his campaign and Saturday he had his first interview with the media.

Despite being only 17, Christiansen says he is ready for the state's top job.

"I'm very responsible, my parents are actually over-the-road truck drivers so they're gone 2 weeks at a time and I have to take care of the house, clean the house, I have three pets, I do my own schooling at home and I work 40 hours a week as a manager at McDonald's," says Christiansen, Democratic governor candidate.

Jared is also a deputy cadet commander in the Civil Air Patrol. His decision to run for governor is a response to President Barack Obama's call for community service. And while he thinks highly of President Obama, he says his idol is JFK.

"He stood for the common people, the Kennedy's for the most part are a fairly wealthy family, but he didn't rub the money in other peoples faces he used it to help others."

He says his priorities are to create jobs, expand education and keep taxes down, but his biggest focus is on health care.

So far, so good.
