1. Actually he wants to be "dictator for life" and then name one of his sons to succeed him....

.... ergo the most egregious attacks on voter rights in the nation, paired with blatant gerrymandering.

2. You are probably right. But being dictator of Wisconsin for life wouldn't sit well with someone

like him, since he'd still partially have the Federal Government over him.
So, we can expect him to try to run for president in 2016, in order to
become a genuine, honest-to-goodness, American dictator for life. The
Koch Brothers might even try to help him -- at a price, of course.

Would Walker be willing to pay such a price? Before the election,
yes. After the election, "NO!!" So, the result, should Walker win, could
be an interesting battle between Walker and the Koch Brothers. It
might even escalate to a battle to the death!!

dictator for life! Maybe the Koch Brothers could put up someone else, or perhaps

Scott Walker is merely an experiment to see if people will tolerate their bullshit and make it legal - for that - Walker is a good obedient servant. Their next target is the presidency - Obama has been bad for billionaires and they know it which is they're using the $100 million they've been hiding under the couch to destroy him. But I think - hope, pray - that this experiment will be a complete failure in November and shut them up for good. The war on women will bite them in the ass hard and you can't buy those votes back. Hopefully they go away in November.

Charles will be 77 in November. They haven't ot much time left, and
