The Wisconsin governor probably felt right at home with the Lone Star State's pro-business, anti-union policies.
While Rick Perry campaigned in South Carolina Thursday, criticizing Mitt Romney's ties to big business and bragging about his own pro-business record, another controversial conservative governor was hanging out in Texas: Scott Walker. The Wisconsin governor, who sparked a firestorm last spring with his effort to eliminate collective bargaining rights for state employees, keynoted a lunch at the Texas Public Policy Foundation's annual legislative orientation, held at the Hilton Hotel. Outside, a sizeable crowd protested Walker's visit and held signs supporting the effort to recall the polarizing Wisconsin chief executive.

In case Walker's appearance didn't already have enough gravitas, [Steve] Moore decided to offer some scale. He explained that Walker is "a hero of our movement" for having taken on "the evil empire of the public employees unions." "I have very rarely seen such a profile in courage," Moore told the crowd.

The guy was walking a yellow labrador and he looked perfectly normal, but I kept my distance.
