WI Republican gubernatorial candidate uses sophomoric tactics to maintain lead

[Onlooker]

Scott Walker, the Republican Gubernatorial candidate in Wisconsin, has released a 68 page jobs plan and is promoting it as a 68 page jobs plan, but the fact is it simply uses really big letters, so there are only about 17 or so words per page. It's unbelievable to sort of sophomoric nonsense the Republicans are resorting to, with great effectivness, sad to say. No wonder Russ Feingold is struggling in Wisconsin when a lot of people there are apparently easily fooled.

"Say you’re a Republican candidate somewhere and unemployment is awful because the actual heart of our consumer-debt economy has died, forever, and plus you are “small government” so you can’t actually propose anything, but still you need to talk about jobs because in, say, Wisconsin, jobs come first! That is a good slogan, no? Now what to do about the other 67 pages of your 68-page jobs plan? What will you do about that, Wisconsin GOP gubernatorial candidate Scott Walker?

"Lest you think this is just some idiotic “temp worker” accidentally setting the font size to GINORMOUS and then letting an evil “local politics blogger” get hold of it, the actual PDF on the actual candidate’s website is named “SCOTT WALKER’S 68-PAGE JOBS PLAN!”, all caps and including the exclamation point. And that’s how it goes, for 68 pages that are the portable-document-format equivalent of having a crazy old person scream in your ear for an hour."

1. What state are you from? ever had republicans winning in your state?

I'm from WI and we are working hard for Feingold. Are the people of MA "laughing stocks" because Scott Brown won Teddy Kennedy's Senate Seat?

2. I changed the title, but ...

I don't think a candidate in Massachusetts would try to fool people by using extra-large fonts. I hope Walker gets exposed for this kind of childish manipulation.

3. thanks, but that he did that doesn't make the whole state sophmoric

especially since he put that plan out just a couple of days ago. And I doubt few people really know about it.
