I think we're fooling ourselves into thinking he doesn't stand a chance because of GW. And they've gotten better at stealing elections.

I think it will come down to Bush v. Walker in the Primary, unless something explodes in the stalled & sputtering investigations into Walker's past.
I see the Jeb people are already out desensitizing the public to the Schiavo case, and the Walker gang is doing the same thing with respect to his lack of eddication.

but there are a whole pile of skeletons in his closet and he has a whole bunch of opponents eager to bring them out, and now, as an early front runner, he has a target on his back. I don't know if the rMoney donors are going to be able to pull this off.
