I was preparing a post for today on the Evil Eagle Scout’s propensity for inept pandering to the various GOP factions (to be entitled “Why Scott Walker is a Wimp”) when he decided to ride his Harley into the sunset, to the dismay of none but the Koch brothers.
My initial assessment of his candidacy was that he was a one-trick pony with no charisma. The initial Iowa polling made me question my judgment temporarily, but it ultimately proved to be correct. Making union-bashing the focal point of his campaign, when the GOP needs plenty of union member votes to win, never made any sense.
He now assumes the 2012 role of Tim Pawlenty–the blandly obnoxious governor whose campaign peaked way too early and ended before the primaries began. So long, Scott. You won’t be missed.
