The Los Angeles Times
notes that Wisconsin and the state’s “embattled governor” Scott Walker
(R) should serve as a warning for the Republican presidential candidates
of the “danger of lurching too far to the right in a presidential
battleground state.”
“The prominence of divisive social issues —
rather than a tight focus on jobs and the economy — in the race for the
Republican presidential nomination has delighted Democrats looking ahead
to November… On Saturday, Romney plans to join Santorum and Newt
Gingrich in Waukesha at a Faith and Freedom Coalition forum. The
gathering of Wisconsin conservatives will be fraught with temptation for
the presidential candidates to offer Republican primary voters still
more of what will likely cause trouble for the party’s nominee in the
fall.”
