Gee, I know that Scott Walker has been designated the Grand Marshall for the Miller Lite Slinger Nationals but his fans are taking this a little too literally. Walker has received quite a bit of press recently over his fundraising during the last reporting period. Listening to right wing sugar daddy Michael Grebe and Walker's cadre of faithful disciples, you'd think that he is already taking the victory lap. Slow down there speed racer! There is more than a year before even the primary gets here.As Capper has already observed, these numbers are not quite as impressive when taken in their full and complete context. Even a well-known conservative blogger tries to give a little history lesson in an attempt to calm the Walkerite hysteria.
Perhaps a more interesting reaction came from Walker's most formidable opponent for the Republican primary, Mark Neumann. Neumann, who formally entered the race after the reporting period ended, responded to Walker's fundraising by shrugging his shoulders and saying, "it's a good number". He then goes on to describe his own fundraising operation as "awesome". This wouldn't be that big of a surprise, because he has a few Republican money bags of his own (including himself). Neumann not only minimized Walker's fundraising numbers but goes on to suggest that Scott was only able to get that much because he was "virtually uncontested" during the entire reporting period.
I think what all of these folks are trying to tell team Walker is that you don't win anything after doing your first practice lap. But go ahead and knock yourself out if you really must.
As an aside: Given his propensity for corniness at these sorts of events, what are the odds that Walker will play dress up at the Slinger Nationals? I'm not a racing fan, but it just might be worth the price of admission.
UPDATE: Heartland Hollar adds the blog "Grand Marshall of No". It highlights Walker's opposition to federal stimulus dollars and how much of it was given to Slinger and Washington County. Will Walker protest that funding during his "duties" as grand marshall?

That was my thought also.

I keep getting mental images of Bush in his flight suit, landing on the air craft carrier with the "Mission Accomplished" banner. The image then morphs into Walker in a car racing suit, with all the patches from Air Tran, Harley, MMAC, Bradley Foundation, etc.
Scary and hilarious at the same time.
MADOFF + STANFORD + DREIER + SATYAM + FISERV + ALBERT HU + The 1031 Tax Group LLC – Edward H. Okun = PROSKAUER ROSE & FOLEY & LARDNER
Investors who have been burned in these scams should start to seek redress from the lawyers who were involved with these scams. I personally have been trying to notify regulators and authorities of a ONE TRILLION DOLLAR scam that is putting states like New York and Florida at huge risk, as well as, companies like Intel, Lockheed, SGI and IBM. The states and companies involved in the fraud fail to acknowledge the risk exposing shareholders and citizens to impending liabilities. Investigators, courts and federal agents ignoring the crimes and evidence, including a car-bombing attempt on my life. I know how Harry Markopolos felt trying to expose Madoff in a world without regulation.
Did I hear Proskauer Rose is involved in Madoff (involved many clients too) and acted as Allen Stanford’s attorney. Investors who lost money in these scams should start looking at the law firm Proskauer’s assets for recovery. First, Proskauer partner Gregg Mashberg claims Madoff is a financial 9/11 for their clients, if they directed you to Madoff sue them. Then, Proskauer partner Thomas Sjoblom former enforcement dude for SEC and Allen Stanford attorney, declares PARTY IS OVER to Stanford employees and advises them to PRAY, this two days before SEC hearings. Then at hearings, he lies with Holt to SEC saying she only prepared with him but fails to mention Miami meeting at airport hanger. Then Sjoblom resigns after SEC begins investigation and sends note to SEC disaffirming all statements made by him and Proskauer, his butt on fire. If you were burned in Stanford sue Proskauer.
Proskauer Rose, Foley & Lardner and Michael Grebe (former RNC Counsel, Bradley Foundation CEO and Former Foley CEO) are also in a TRILLION dollar FEDERAL LAWSUIT legally related to a WHISTLEBLOWER CASE also in FEDERAL COURT. Marc S. Dreier, brought in through Raymond A. Joao of Meltzer Lippe after putting 90+ patents of mine in his own name, is also a defendant in the Federal Case.
The Trillion Dollar suit according to Judge Shira Scheindlin is one of PATENT THEFT, MURDER & A CAR BOMBING. For graphics on the car bombing visit http://www.iviewit.tv.
