she is being recalled too.

If she becomes Governor before the recall election then I think that her recall for her Lt. Gov seat would be voided and everyone would have to wait a year and start all over again to recall her from her new position. I think but I'm not sure.

And she was never elected as governor and that might prevent the need to wait another year.

You know how some athletes will come up with excuses before a game or race? That way if they fail, they already have their excuse. It sounds like Walker is trying to let his followers down easy--making it sound like he wouldn't mind leaving office.

And let me tell you, $144,000 is pretty good money in the state of Wisconsin!

Don't kid yourselves. He's already set for life by turning Wisconsin into a Koch brothers laboratory for social change.

But departing the governorship would be a welcome first step.
