Do we have a teflon governor?

Walker has got away with being in the middle of several political scandals his cronies are in jail for now, but he's still out of jail, and in the governor's office.

What will it take to get Walker indicted AND convicted?

Walker on tape bragging about how corrupt he is?
Or will even that just be swept under the rug?

the propaganda on the right side of the ledger has people believing that there is NO authoritative source and, moreover, that anything that contradicts the view that Walker and his cronies are less than the "second coming" is a FDH (per Atrios: F-ing Dirty Hippie) lie.

I don't know if these folks will ever come back to live in a reality-based society.

When he gets backing from billionaires and his disinformation network he is hard to beat.When talking to my Republican friends in Wisconsin thy believe all the lies and it's very frustrating to say the least.

and you keep seeing/hearing the GOP special interest ads outside election season down there. The narrative is that Walker has nothing to do with it, let's reelect him again, or even better have him take over for Obama.

In Ohio, we are ranking in the mid 40's, down from about 29 when Strickland was governor.
