This is excellent political fodder for Mark Dayton and the DFL "yeah... we're not perfect.. but look at Wisconsin."

The ads practically write themselves.

I agree, Obamacare is hurting Walker's approval. Walker's decision to reject the Medicaid expansion and screw his state over had to be bad for his popularity

Governor Scott Walker's idea of how to create prosperity: first promote the draining of the state's prosperity to outside plutocrats. Then expect those plutocrats to shower the state with generosity in the form of investment and lower-paying jobs. Such is the neoliberal idea behind American neocolonialism in the Third World.

If it works to the detriment of people in Guatemala, then it can't work well for people in Wisconsin. 

Wisconsin is not singled out for harm from Obamacare; even if it hurts Wisconsin (questionable in itself) it hurts 49 other states just as much. It is not an excuse for bad policies on other matters. Walker might as well blame the hard winter. (Really -- nobody would ever move to Wisconsin, most of which has a classic fire-and-ice climate.

Scott Walker -- making Wisconsin a State that people want to leave.

That's funny in Gallup year end rankings Wisconsin was 10th in job growth(yes Minnesota was higher though) and 16th in unemployment.
