Walkering Back on the Issues 1
In the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel, Christian Schneider marvels at Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker’s refusal to take stands.
First off, asking Walker one of the most publicly known things about the president isn’t a “gotcha” question. But by not answering it, Walker offered a “gotcha” answer. And while Walker thinks he’s shooting down these types of “statement of fact” questions, he’s merely encouraging more of them.

And of course, Clinton is once again reminding us of the etymology of the adjective “Clintonian,” as she fights off what could be a legitimate scandal. If l’affaire home email leaves Clinton a weakened candidate, Walker could have a puncher’s chance in 2016. Let’s just hope no reporter asks him a “gotcha” question like whether Clinton is a woman.
My guess is that, without his script from the Kochs, Walker has no answers.

Walker has also “walked back” on the question of ethanol mandates and subsidies. Of course he changed his mind at the Iowa Ag Summit where “corn for fuel” has strong backing. Walker has been a critic of the ethanol mandate and subsidies. I guess that changes depending on your audience and your ultimate objective. Just more “…tell them what they want to hear…” politics.
Ethanol is a hoax and corn for fuel is terrible public policy.
