Among some true believers, Scott Walker is not just governor of Wisconsin. He is America's governor.

Most of the money now pouring into Walker's gubernatorial campaign coffers comes from people who live in other states, newly released campaign finance filings show.

Of the $3.5 million received by Walker in the first six months of this year, nearly $2 million came from out of state. This continues a trend that began when Walker first announced sweeping changes to the collective bargaining power of most public employees, prompting historic protests and an unsuccessful recall attempt.

Consider: When Walker was first elected in 2010, he raised and spent about $11 million. Of this, less than 10% came from donors in other states, according to the state Government Accountability Board's online database.
