JEB's problem is that he's not quite wacko enough for the Tea Party. Immigration, for one thing.

Walker, on the other hand, sucks in the rubes, rednecks and other assorted semiliterates in the population. They LOVED the way he beat down the teachers & state employees.

A vote for Walker was a vote against all those teachers who had tormented them all those years ago.

A vote for Walker was a chance to give all those wiseass state bureaucrats a comeuppance.

So, actually, Walker's educational history might play as a strength in some crowds.


It's that old Adlai Stevenson thing about "every thinking person"
