Yesterday I was talking with a co-worker over lunch about today's election. A friend of his is an old duff who happens to be a big rail enthusiast. Well, the guy went to a Scott Walker campaign event and told Walker that he'd vote for him but was unhappy with his stance on Madison getting a stop on Amtrak's Hiawatha line.
According to my co-worker, his friend was told by Scott Walker that the rail line was a done deal and that all of his bluster and promises to 86 it were just campaign folderol to please a certain group of people. This pleased the trainspotter enough that he told the candidate that he had his vote.
No surprise here but still - what a maroon.
It'll be interesting to see what happens if he wins. I think at the first murmur of cutting state employee benefits and positions, workers will begin an exodus. And then everyone who voted for Walker will start bitching about the state not processing applications or whatever fast enough.
