Come join our party, not just anyone will do (Part 11)...

So it seems Scott "Union busting, remove the weekend from employees, balance all the tax cuts to billionaires and oil and gas companies on the backs of the poor" Walker has joined the race finally.  Like it was any big secret he was going to do this.  He's been gunning for a Presidential run since he was running for Governor of Wisconsin.  And how sad it is to see Wisconsin, a state 100 years ago leading the Progressive charge into making the Middle Class lifes better, now being destroyed by conservative Right-Wing reactionaries.  The only states worse off than Wisconsin are Kansas and Oklahoma, both being run, like Wisconsin, following everything the Tea Party has espoused.  And now all three are in the toilet.

Anyway, here's an update.

Democrats
Hillary Clinton: April 12, 2015 - 86 days
Bernie Sanders: April 30, 2015 - 73 days

Lincoln Chafee: June 3, 2015 - 41 days
Jim Webb: July 2, 2015 - 12 days

Honestly, I thought we'd already see at least one of the Republicans come to their senses already and fold up the campaign.  But I guess we'll have to wait for the first debate or so for some of the riff-raff to exit.
