PPP-WI: Hillary leads all Pubs

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

The huge reason for Walker was that he can work harder in states like WI, IA, and OH.  CO is very important to the Dems more so than Ohio, because of the NV,CO, PA, NH corridor, but if he can't win in a state like WI, the candidacy won't have a good ending.

The auto unions and teacher's union are a key constituency in each of these midwestern states. When you go against either, like Corker went against Union President Littlefield, and the way Rauner has gone against Karyn Lewis, GOPers like Walker are making a big mistake and won't win.

Based on this and the OH poll, it seems Walker is a rather poor candidate for the Midwest. The establishment should try to draft Kasich.

Exactly. A Kasich/Rubio (or Rubio/Kasich) ticket would probably be the best 2016 GOP ticket.
Bye-bye, Scotty

That's correct. Rubio can/MUST deliver FL and Kasich can/MUST deliver OH in order to win this. Both are not the perfect candidates but GOP's best choices for 2016 at this moment.

Apart from this, the old granny was already once beaten by a young, charismatic minority senator...

And Dems may still win, by winning CO,NV, PA, IA, WI, NH and PA for 272-266 electoral vote victory.

And Hillary was leading Kasich, in a poll conducted early on in the campaign, and currently leads all GOPers.

Meh.  Republicans have been seen as anti-union for many, many decades, and they used to fair much better in those states - at a time when union membership was significantly higher, too.  I doubt that's the tipping of the scale.

GOP criticism of the Dept of Education has been thr tipper in 2008 and in 2012. When Perry said he wanted to get rid of it too.

It is Walker's iron fisted handling of this dept has put kids at risk.

That's why common core and Jeb is at odds with voters and progressives.
