President Scott Walker.

The very thought of it drives liberals crazy. If it happened he would be out of our hair (of course we would be stuck with "what’s her name" as the new governor).

Walker is getting a lot of national attention, including a spot on the Sunday morning program on ABC last weekend. The day was Super Sunday (the day of the game) but the liberal media roared out of the blocks proclaiming Walker’s performance anything but super.

Under grilling by Martha Raddatz, the senior foreign affairs correspondent for the network, Walker seemed less than sure about things like Syria or immigration reform. He stumbled a bit and what he did offer seemed to be anything but the "big and bold" ideas he is beginning to use as a campaign slogan.

But I don’t think his performance, and let’s all agree that this is about performance, was all that bad.  He didn’t blow up or foam at the mouth or develop a shifty gaze as he looked for help. He looked like he was in control. There were no beads of sweat on his upper lip or his forehead.

He sounded confident. Not everyone may agree with him, but Walker is not going to change his message in order to convince people to like him.

The man is a true believer.

Oh, if you look hard enough you will find times that he has changed his position on one issue or another. But generally speaking, Walker has a vision of the way things should be and he’s pretty true to that vision.

When he was just starting his political career he developed a strategy to get his face on television.

I've known Walker for 20 years, since I was helping run the Channel 12 newsroom and Walker became the go-to guy for anything. No matter what happened, Walker would meet a reporter and camera anywhere at any time to give the "Wisconsin take" on the event. It could have been a train crash in Marshfield or an art theft in Italy. Walker frequently called in to ask if we needed him to comment. And of course, television news always taking the easy way out to fill time, he always got someone to bite.

He was far and away the most familiar state legislator on television. Nobody was even close.

And he rode that familiarity to get elected Milwaukee County Executive, a staunch Republican in a staunchly Democratic county. He followed the pension scandal running as an outsider from county government.

Now he’s doing it again. He’s the outsider. He preaches the gospel of a broken down Washington D.C., and who is going to argue with him. It’s the perfect time for someone like Walker, and our governor is going to build an organization that tries to make sure he is that someone.

Walker knows, better than most, how to make devils out of opponents. He uses everything at his disposal to create an enemy.

His new budget is being accompanied with calls for professors to work harder and teach more. That message resonates with a lot of people. It is his call to arms and there are a lot of people who want to take up those arms and "get this country back to what we should be."

There are going to be a lot of political experts who are going to weigh in on a Walker candidacy. He’s going to have supporters and he’s going to have opponents.

Walker kind of reminds me of Ronald Reagan. Both men were outsiders and both men had a vision in which they truly believed. They peddled their vision day after day after day. People knew exactly what Reagan stood for, and they will know exactly what Walker stands for. You may not agree, but there will be no doubts about his policies.

I am a dyed in the wool liberal, always have been and always will be. I am, politically, about as far from Walker as could be, but I can't deny the guy is an incredible, indefatigable campaigner. He never stops. He’s smart.

And as she says, over and over lately, I wouldn’t bet against him. The worst thing that my side could do is to fail to believe the guy is for real.

You can’t laugh him off or minimize him or say he is out of his league. He is too good at what he does and everyone should realize it.
