Scott Walker just got punked at a New Hampshire pizza shop

MANCHESTER, N.H. --

.............It's not unusual for activists or protesters to stop by campaign events and put candidates on the spot — but Walker faced many more than usual during a campaign stop at Theo's late Monday morning ahead of an evening candidates' forum. Elizabeth Ropp, a 38-year-old acupuncturist who works in town, brought up the millions of dollars that defense contractors spend on elections and asked what he would do to ensure those companies did not unduly sway foreign policy decisions. (Walker shifted to talking about the need for a strong military and said he will soon roll out a foreign policy plan.) Emma Stein, a 20-year-old college student, asked about campaign finance reform. (There's a plan coming, he said.) Another 20-something asked about ending the revolving door between politics and lobbying. ("We'll certainly come out with a plan later this year," Walker said.)

Even those in the crowd who identified as proud Republicans often greeted the governor with a pointed question they wanted precisely answered. Again and again, Walker quoted passages from his standard stump speech — or told them to hold out for a policy plan. It was a different vibe from the crowds in Iowa, where the candidate has spent much more time campaigning.

As Walker had made it through the restaurant and outside to address a gaggle of reporters, a spokeswoman pulled him aside and held up her phone: "I want to make sure you saw a photo." They then huddled quietly with Walker's campaign manager to discuss.

As Walker answered questions from reporters in a parking lot, a man with a scraggly beard wearing a blacktop hat and carrying a white flower came up with a sign reading: "How can we make the world better." A spokeswoman tried to knock the sign away. A few campaign staffers stood in front of him. ..................

Walker has been criticized for not spending as much time in New Hampshire as other Republican candidates and for avoiding town halls here. Walker bragged on Monday that this is his 11th event in New Hampshire this year — but that's the same number of events he did in Iowa in just one weekend last month. Unlike Iowa, New Hampshire has an open primary that independents are allowed to vote in, and the political tone is generally more moderate, especially on social issues. But Walker said he doesn't mind the difficult questions and gritty debate in New Hampshire, plus he has grown accustomed to protesters during his polarizing four years as governor in Wisconsin......

1. Sounds like some of the other candidates, elect them and see what is in the box.

Don't be afraid to show your hand, if the current administration uses your plan then be happy for good results.

2. His actual plan? Divide and Conquer the hard-working taxpayer.

That's how he deals with everthing.

3. Yes, the divide and conquer tactic has worked
