Four years of Jimmy Carter gave us two titanic Reagan landslides, peace and prosperity for eight blessed years – and even a third term for his feckless vice president, George H.W. Bush.
Two years of Bill Clinton gave us a historic Republican sweep of Congress, which killed the entire Clinton agenda (with the exception of partial-birth abortion and felony obstruction of justice) – and also gave us two terms for George W. Bush.
And now, merely one year of Obama and a Democratic Congress has given us the first Republican senator from Massachusetts in 31 years.
If you stop to think about it, Wisconsin has a similar recent history. After Tommy Thompson and his boyzzzzz spent the State silly (buying a new Brewer-house was only the tip of the iceberg,) the (R) wastrels were voted out.
How long did Wisconsin put up with the ultra-Left Tony Earl? One term. We came to our senses.
But after only 8 years of Democrat lying and even WORSE spend-a-holic antics, we'll likely elect a Republican governor.
Let's hope that Scott Walker knows how to use a meat-axe. He'll need one for the State budget.

I think he does and I hope he gets a chance to prove it. Which is why I wish that Mark Neumann had stayed out of the race. I liked Neumann as a Congressman and he may have more State-wide recognition initially, but I think Walker had the momentum and more recent 'recognition' behind him.
I know there's a primary but primaries are always divisive (not to mention expensive). Better to put everything behind one man from the start and build more momentum early.
