Walker campaign owes vendors. Creditors getting nervous.

[lutefisk]

I've read that Walker employs around 90 full time staffers on his campaign. That is a pretty heavy payroll to keep up with. Add to that the expenses to maintain his entourage, advertising, jet lease, and countless other bills, and Walker could get in financial trouble very quickly.

Nervous vendors to his campaign are waiting to be paid more than $100,000 for outstanding debts, according to a person at one of the firms who spoke on the condition of anonymity. The person was not authorized to speak publicly about the firm's financial relationship to Walker's campaign.

The person said there is widespread recognition that Walker built a large and expensive campaign infrastructure when fundraising was strong earlier in the year. That is leading to fears among Walker's creditors that he could become this cycle's Tim Pawlenty, the former Minnesota governor who left the 2012 presidential race deep in debt months before the first voters were cast.

Walker spent the day after the debate trying reassure his donors, taking part in a conference call with campaign manager Rick Wiley as he courted some donors directly in California. He also has a series of fundraisers planned, including later this month in his home state.

1. Walker is such a loser

I do not understand why he is having so much of a problem ------ he said god told him to run

[justhanginon]

2. Charles or David? n/t

4. ah yes the god thing...reminds me of the song....

I don't want to start
Any blasphemous rumors
But I think that God's
Got a sick sense of humor
And when I die
I expect to find Him laughing

10. OK, who prank called Walker and said it was god calling?

3. Does'nt this Guy have Money issues from his past?

Watch for the Walker Campaign to go puff. All this duffus is doing is positioning himself for a Vice Presidential spot. Just another leach.

5. VP spot makes sense. Maybe that's why he's such a suck-up to the others.

Bush/Walker

Jeb brings some element of mental stability and Walker brings... I'm not sure. The anti-middle class, anti-worker, anti-women, anti-education, anti-environment, and right wing billionaire vote?

7. This is what we were hearing from Old Class mates this past summer.

After wrecking Wisconsin,and the 1% class is still trying to wipe out Unions,this Turd would float as a number two. Keep in mind,we have a termed out Governor in Nevada,Brian Sandovold who has sway with the Fundie and Cult Religious groups here in the West. Tea Baggers love this guy more than Walker. Whom ever the GOP selects,it will be someone who worked for Mitt and his gang of thieves.

12. Walker's from a midwestern swing state. That's about it.

6. Vendors ought to be asking for cash up front from these sketchy types. nt

8. Walker is so used to using tax $$ for his agenda-now his has to do some more begging to pay his bill

[Scuba]

9. Maybe all the vacant lots and condemned buildings sporting "I stand with Walker" signs will pony up.

14. Last weekend we were on our way to Devils Lake for hike up the bluffs and

needed to stop for a few supplies--just north of Baraboo. Anyway--I did not go into the store--instead took the dog for walk--vacant lot next door and I bought a bag in case he needed to do a do do. But to the point--I went back to the van and parked a few spaces away was a minivan with Stand with Walker signs plastered on all sides. I took the dog for walk around it--- in hopes he would take a leak on the tires--but no luck. I know--nasty but that van just got to me. Not a simple bumper sign but big signs--and gun signs all over it.
