As America fights to turn the economy around, the implications are huge. On the other hand, Walker’s success, which is based on the fact that Wisconsin has actually added jobs during his tenure, could have ironic short term consequences: My guess is that the better Wisconsin citizens feel about the economy, the less likely they are to turn against Barack Obama in the fall.

In fact, I predict Obama will have enough moxie to boast about the job creation that has occurred under Walker’s watch.
