(109,099 posts)40. Woman Denies Walker Fathered Baby - JSO Reporter Daniel Bice
http://www.dailykos.com/story/2012/06/03/1096950/-Woman-Denies-Walker-Fathered-Baby-JSO-Reporter-Daniel-Bice
The story that Scott Walker abandoned his pregnant girlfriend in college (dKos diary link) failed the first test of verification by a professional reporter. Daniel Bice, the "Watchdog" reporter of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Online interviewed the anonymous woman who had the baby, but she adamantly denied that Scott Walker was the father according to a comment by Daniel Bice to the linked story.

I am getting a lot of emails because of this post. Two things: (1) I tracked down and talked to Dr. Gillicks freshman-year roommate at MU yesterday, and she adamantly denies that Walker is the father of her child. Yes, she got pregnant as a first-year student, but she believes Dr. Gillick is mixing up stories; and (2) I Can Read CCAP has taken a family court suit involving Scott Alan Walker and mixed it up with the governor, Scott Kevin Walker.
We need to be careful with stories like this that haven't been verified. Yes, someone could be impersonating Daniel Bice, but the comment rings true to me. Yes, the woman who had the baby could be covering up for some undisclosed reason, but we have zero evidence of that. Note, the official CCAP family court records that Daniel Bice and others accessed do not indicate that governor Scott Walker was the father.

Scott Walker would have to impale babies on spikes to lose support from the enthralled masses.

let's just pray that it is true and that it swings enough votes to bring him down

My concern is hyping an unverified story could damage Barrett. Proceed with caution. n/t

meh, Barrett won't touch this but I will. He has no integrity whether this story is true or not.

How about another update: CCAP records show Gillick's claim may still have merit despite DKos art

That's what the blogger is saying. Bice has never been that reliable a reporter either.
