Your Panicked Governor: Here Come The School Vouchers

Scott Walker needs a gimmick. He needs a gimmick fast -.....

The brain-trust over at his campaign headquarters took a break from drawing straws on who would be willing to go to jail next, to think up a gimmick that sounds like a promise but won't actually have to be delivered.
