I have been pondering this thought for a while, if/when Walker jumps in, where will his support come from? I tend to believe he will get his support from a mix of the more moderate aspects of the Christian Right, as well as maybe some more right leaning moderate voters with a mix of the business conservative crowd. That is just my guess, what do you guys think?

krazen Republicans basically: the more conservative "Establishment" Republicans and the more pragmatic elements of the Tea Party that emphasize economic issues while holding social conservative stances and a hawkish foreign policy.

This, plus a few libertarians and more moderate Republicans who want to cut spending.

Given his more recent hawkish statements about Iraq and ISIS, I don't think libertarians will vote for him.

Perhaps, though I think a few may anyways.  Prior to those comments, he probably was on better footing with libertarians (my opinion of him has sunk since them).  Personally, I hope the GOP nominates an electable moderate like Kasich at this point; he's pretty much our only hope.

Kasich probably would be a good candidate, my only concern is that he would split the vote with Bush/Christie who ever else counts as moderate and allow a more extreme candidate to win. I mean I am team Rand for the primary, but I am willing to vote for who ever is the nominee, unless it's Cruz or Santorum/Huckabee.
