A black Republican maybe? Or a generally conservative leaning working class voter that was put off by Romney's 47% comments.

Independent/moderate voter from the Milwaukee suburbs who is concerned about public sector unions.

Hispanic voter from Colorado who researched and found out that Walker at one point supported comprehensive immigration reform. This Hispanic voter gives walker the benefit of the doubt and  assumes he deep down still supports that.

Black misogynistic old male voter from the black belt.

These are the folks who vote based on which candidate they feel can best sit down for a beer with them and have a nice conversation.

AKA:

Clinton 1996, Bush 2000, bush 2004, Obama 08, Obama 12, Walker 16

Someone who normally votes republican, but voted for Obama because they wanted the nation to have a non-white president for once.

There are the swing voters who have fairly trivial reasons for preferring one candidate to another (IE- The ones responsible for bearded candidates getting less support than candidates without beards.)

Walker might also do okay with the people who thought Romney was better on the economy, but that Obama cared more about people like them.

So after a campaign season of Walker rallying against amnesty for illegals, an Obama voter will chose Walker over Hillary because he thinks Walker was lying? Instead of voting for Hillary who (like Obama) openly supports immigration reform?

Angry left-wingers who bought Obama's spiel twice and won't buy whatever Hillary is selling, who will vote Republican out of either sheer spite at being fooled by Obama, or out of a desire to teach the Democrats not to take their base for granted. (The latter are far more likely to stay home, or just not vote on the big up-ballot races.)

I don't know how many such voters there are, but after years of watching both Obama and Hickenlooper govern as technocratic moderate Republicans, there are certainly some.
