Just like with Christie "I wasn't indicted" isn't a compelling bumpersticker. There is a whiff of scandal and corruption and bad headlines about convicted staffers and a 'criminal scheme' that is plenty to be used in a political ad.

The hit job has been on honest elections, and Scott Walker did it. America can survive journalistic 'hits', but if Walker gets away with what he is alleged to have gotten away with, then our political order is in deep trouble.

Excited to see Walker, Perry and Christie up on that debate stage.

This is really, really bad. Sneaky funding through front groups is questionable at best. When the candidate seeks such funding, things are really bad.

If nothing else, the whiff of scandal around Walker should cost him a couple points in his race for gov, assuming the Burke campaign plays it right. And the election is already close so this could make the difference, and if he loses in Nov 2014 I dont think he will be in a position to announce a presidential run just a few months later.
