The Rats are Jumping Ship

 The Mitt Romney National Co-Chair Tim Pawlenty is leaving the campaign to become a bank lobbyist!


And Paul Ryan ( R - Wall St.) , Mitts Vice Presidential choice,is already running his second ad in the 1st Congressional district.  While the ads might be the worst ones on TV, they show that he knows his only chance to keep sucking on the government teat is to retain his Congressional seat.  

The list of republicans running FROM Mitt is growing by the day! Heck  even Tommy Thompson wants nothing to do with him!!

I Have Underestimated Scott Walker

He doesn't want to ruin just Wisconsin's economy and send our jobs elsewhere, he wants to take Minnesota down with us:

Train boosters in Wisconsin aren’t the only ones frustrated with Gov.-elect Scott Walker’s promise to kill the proposed rail link between Madison and Milwaukee: so are our neighbors to the west.

“Obviously, if we don’t have a willing partner, it makes it more difficult to move forward,” says Dan Krom, director of the Minnesota Department of Transportation’s passenger rail office. “We all have our state politics to deal with, and the fact Wisconsin is in the middle (between Minnesota and Illinois) is a problem.”

If Wisconsin refuses to get on board and Walker turns away $810 million in federal stimulus money to pay for rail service between Milwaukee and Madison, it is unlikely Minnesota would see its largest metropolitan area connected to the proposed nine-state Midwest rail line anytime soon.

I wonder if Minnesota Governor Tim Pawlenty regrets his support for Walker yet.

WISGOP Turns To Minnesota For Leadership

WISGOP is going to have their convention coming up in a couple of months.

Scott Walker has already planned on moving his *wink, wink* bike ride to promote Milwaukee County to the week before the convention.

Too bad for Walker he is not deemed sufficiently Republican and/or articulate and/or presentable enough to be one of the main talking heads:

Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty will headline the Republican Party of Wisconsin's state convention in May.

The news comes as Pawlenty tries to raise his national profile for a potential campaign for the party's nomination to challenge President Barack Obama in 2012. He is not running for re-election as governor, a post he captured in 2002.

Pawlenty will be joined by Rep. Paul Ryan of Janesville in addressing the state convention in Milwaukee on May 21.

Wisconsin GOP Chairman Reince Priebus said he can't think of two better Republicans to motivate its members and "spread our message of common sense conservative solutions and fiscal restraint."

But does WISGOP really think we want to be like Minnesota?

Walker's Inspiration?

Doesn't that sound eerily familiar?
