anything scott walker needs from the rnc, scott walker is going to get from the rnc. >> walker has thesupport of the rnc. stop it right there. just remember that. walker has the full support of the rnc. the republican presidential candidates, wait a minute, they're a little bit careful. what's full support. mitt romney and rick santorum have voiced support for walker but they're not showing at any campaign events with him because he could be legally toxic with their campaign. they can't afford to be seen in public which somebody that could be a huge liability after june 5th. this is why i cover wisconsin as much as i do on "the ed show." this is all about citizens united. there is absolutely no way the democrats in this state or as walker loves to say, the union bosses whoever the heck they are, as if there's this money just pouring into this state from the clouds. it's raining dollars for democrats, that's not the case. what we saw here was 30,000 volunteers in the winter time go across the state and get signatures. the boots on the ground. now, i don't think that these groups that ar

voters there are riveted by the scott walker deal because the scott walker deal is a rodeo. it is actually exciting. he would be only the third governor in united states history to make voters so unhappy that they went back to the polls and fired him before his term was up. republicans, over time, had been inching toward possibly winning the state of wisconsin in a presidential election. at this point in the state, though, even if that were true, even if that were happening, i'm not sure wisconsin would even notice, let alone care. joining us now is dan vice, political writer for "the milwaukee journal-sentinel." when last we spoke we were interrupted by mitt romney giving his victory speech. i thank you for sticking around and coming back. >> that's fine, thanks. >> you have been covering the republican primary as well as covering the recall on the ground. you talked earlier about the fact that the walker recall has sort of put the republican primary in the shade. we can see that a little bit in the polling results and in the sort of worried we that some conservative news o

by extending the election, it gives scott walker the advantage by allowing scott walker to do this.the thing that surprises me today, the poll numbers has scott walker ahead. what explains this? clearly the sentiment seems to have shifted back to him to some degree at least. how do you understand that? >> he has been by himself on the air for three months with $12 million in television. that's a ton of money in wisconsin. he's in little markets buying thousands of points, repeating these lies that he said he fixed the budget. he didn't. he's working on jobs wisconsin and job loss but he hasn't had any opposition on the air. to be unopposed on the airwaves, being at 50% we have yet begun to fight and scat walker is still at this danger number. we're feeling pretty good about this. >> there is this issue sort of festering notion of a grand jury investigation relating to activity during the time that scott walker was the county executive in milwaukee. what is that? is there any real possibility that that will rise to his level or even if it does, do so by the time of the recall vote? >

was the resolute news more than a year ago governor scott walker created a firestorm it was because it was an anti-union law and known today as act ten it subsequently led to over a million signatures being turned in to have governor walker recall the office but now it turns out that act is itself unconstitutional the federal judge last week ruled that walker's anti-union law which limits collective bargaining rights and forces public unions to recertify once a year violates our number of our rights of the constitution in a strictly political move walker exempted police and firefighters from the anti-union law for example getting grounds for the call. last week to strike down the law because it violates the equal protection clause the constitution court also said it violates public workers first amendment rights so walker's wildly unpopular war against unions might all be for naught and as he prepares for the political fight of his life in a recall election how might this now unconstitutional law affect his chances of winning the latest coming out of the badger state graham's alinsky i

scott walker is fighting for his political career and he needs all the help that you can give him. this flyer is absolutely filled with nothing but walker propaganda including this out right lie. wisconsin is gaining private sector jobs. i wonder when this thing was printed. they've been bad for a long time. wisconsin has lost 6,100,000 private sector jobs over the past year. 23,900 jobs lost in wisconsin. that is the worst in the nation. i don't see that anywhere in this little folder but i did wonder when i got it, wonder how he feels about the post office. anyway, listen to how scott walker tried to spin the numbers last night on cnbc. >> a large part of it, you look what happened last march and april, that was the peek of the protest time in the state of wisconsin, you know any small employer, particularly small business doesn't want uncertainty, we saw it back then. >> who created that, scott. walker can blame protesters all he wants for the job loss. once again, somebody else's fault but he can't hide from the poor policies and opportunities driven people out of the state. res

scott walker.> now unfortunately because of a couple of governor scott walker, everyone thinks someone will be scott walker. i'm not scott walker. this is not wisconsin. this is washington state. >> republicans running for office now by talking about how they are not scott walker. scott walker went to illinois and michigan today and was greeted with huge protests in both states. scott walker is unpopular when he's not at home. these controversial governors in the states are going to affect what happens in their states in the presidential election. frankly to the extent that guys like scott walker and rick scott and john kasich is nationally famous. they define what it is to be a republican, they are going to affect the 2012 race even beyond their individual states which is why the democratic party is do i think this. i have to say i think because this ad using a clip of me describing a policy. the democratic national committee released to us tonight this ad that they will start running tomorrow. th

scott walker. thank you. >> oh, what a hero he is. mitt romney might want to check out the local papers in wisconsin before praising his hero, scott walker. here's the headline the people of wisconsin woke up to this morning, "state job losses worst in the united states." for 14 months i have been telling you on this program about the dangers of this radical governor in wisconsin and his agenda. all of the warnings are now memorialized in these numbers. and that headline. from march 2011 to march 2012, wisconsin has lost 23,900 jobs. the bureau of labor statistics says that wisconsin is the only state in the nation with statistically significant job losses over the past year. now, 17,800 of these jobs were from the public sector. 6,100 of these jobs were from the private sector. no other state in the country has lost more private sector jobs over the last 12 months. the numbers don't lie. how would you like this to be your state, your numbers? this is what huge tax breaks for corporations does to your state. this is what happens when

the very first ad attacking scott walker on his record of job loss. a lot of ads with walker promoting himself. i think we will start to hear the other side. there's so much material to work with. the first thing the democrats tried to do is attach a writer to his millions of tax breaks for out of state corporations saying they should have to create one job. he said no to that. we're handing out these tax breaks. >> walker is saying that president obama's re-election team is spending tens of millions of dollars to defeat him. he's using the president to raise money he's afraid of defeat. what do you think? >> sure. running against obama is the reason he got into office in the first place. we haven't seen a lot of barack obama in the state of wisconsin. this is clearly a grassroots effort to recall scott walker. it's led by the people of wisconsin. we have our own issues we're working on. the massive cuts, the collective bargaining issue. not only are things bad in terms of jobs, but they are trending in the wrong direction. he cut 30% out of our techn

let's talk about scott walker.signed about 50 laws into effect on thursday and friday basically right before good friday so they can keep it secret and not a lot of people will talk about it. too bad, we actually know what's going on and we are going to reveal it for you guys here it's a perfect case of the war on women. let me show you some of the bills they passed in that time. he repealed the equal pay act. so if you are a woman in wisconsin, you are going to have a harder time getting equal pay, the healthy youth act, which means they are going to emphasize abstinence education in the schools. they say that's the only thing that works. i have news. it doesn't work 100% of the time. it works zero % of the time. people are built to have sex. you can tell them all the day long, don't have it. don't have it. the only thing that cures it is death. the republicans go on their ridiculous way, we teach abstinence and limits access to abortion coverage. of course, it does because they have to limit all of your reproduct

later, another big exclusive, scott walker, governor walker of wisconsin. he wants big union bosses out of government. and he's going to tell me how he can win the special election coming up in five weeks. and folks, don't forget, inflation or not. free market capitalism, the best path to prosperity. we need more of it. i'm larry kudlow, please stay with us. let's start with car insurance x. this one does save people a lot of money and it's very affordable. it was very delicious. could you please taste car insurance y? this one is much more expensive. ugh. it's really bad. let's see what you picked. oh, geico! over their competitor. you are a magician right? no., oh. you're not?, no., oh, well, give it a shot. i am so, so sorry. it was this close. hey, it's sandra -- from accounting. peter. i can see that you're busy... but you were gonna help us crunch the numbers for accounts receivable today. i mean i know that this is important. well, both are important. let's be clear. they are but this is important too. [ man ] the receivables. [ male announcer ] mich

scott walker knows his audience. he is telling them big government is targeting him. ey want to take him out. walker has been making this pitch all over the country especially in washington, d.c. i guess you could say it's all hands on deck to save his seat in the governor's office. his sale job is working. the money is coming in. the latest polls show walker has pulled five points ahead of the leading democratic candidate milwaukee mayor tom barrett. i'm joined by john. this is the play book. he's going all over the country begging for money, spending money in wisconsin. it's not coming from within the state, and it seems to be working on the polls. what do you make of it? >> i think it's working up to a point. one thing i'll remind you is we have had polls that show him up five points, up two, down two. what we're dealing with is a very intense race. at this point, scott walker has had the tremendous advantage of being on air now since november. both with his own campaign and super pacs and independent expenditures backing him. it's not surprising that he's at around

but to actually be photographed with scott walker at this point is a rather dangerous thing. and i think walker and romney both understand that. that picture comes back to haunt both men. if, by chance, walker is defeated in a recall or if he runs into big legal trouble, that's embarrassing for romney. by the same token, walker is going into a recall election where he's going to desperately be trying to present himself as a moderate figure. so he really doesn't want a picture of him next to presidential candidate who's had to run hard, hard to the right. so bottom line is, i think they've sort of decided to keep their distance, but they've talked eacher

if scott walker was really worrying about the taxpayers, he would have said yes when the public unionsame to him to accept the deal he offered them, but before walker pushed through his anti-collective bargaining legislation. he wasn't interested in waiving money there. if he was interesting in saving money, he wouldn't have exempted certain public unions from the anti-collective bargaining bill, and if he was interesting in saving taxpayer money, then he would not have given a huge tax break to big business in wisconsin as his first act as governor. >> go ahead, liz. >> the tax breaks to businesses to the state of wisconsin, look, i mean, i need something for what rick is saying here. what happened is the governor came in, he saw the municipal compensation costs were exploding and drowning with red ink. it was so bad, stewart, the prior governor raided transportation funds illegally to pay for these costs. wisconsin workers got cushy retirement, cushy health coverage to the point where some districts they didn't have to pay for their health coverage. with they also had to use a union-
