Scott Walker is a "dead bang loser" for Wisconsin. - Bill Clinton



Bill Clinton, who retains an ability to energize party faithful like no other Democrat, told a raucous get out the vote rally for Democratic challenger Tom Barrett that the uncompromising, anti-union agenda of Gov. Scott Walker is a "dead bang loser" for Wisconsin.

"To have a divide and conquer strategy is nuts," said Clinton, speaking in the shadow of Usinger's, the famous Milwaukee sausage house whose specialties may no longer be on the menu of a former president with a heart condition.

Clinton said Walker was a prisoner of the same far right, cut taxes for the wealthy agenda that "doubled the national debt after I left office."

"Everywhere I go in the world, the only thing I see that works is when everyone works together and treats everyone with respect," Clinton continued, playing to a pro-union audience that claims to have been demonized and marked for extinction by Walker's policies. "That's how you get out of the ditch."
