Capital New York reports:
“I happen to think your victory, that election, is as important an election as we’ve had in this country in a long time, including the one coming up,” said Ken Langone, the founder of Home Depot and a longtime contributor to Republican causes, during a question-and-answer session after Walker’s speech to about 100 guests of the Manhattan Institute. “That said, you’ve now gone to a much higher level of standing within the nation and the party, and I guess what I’m asking you is to think about taking advantage of that platform.”Langone is right about one thing: Walker is standing on an enormous platform made by Wall Street and propped up by corporate cash. And with sponsors like Langone, why not take Walker’s anti-worker show on the road?
Langone said Walker had the standing to articulate the formula for electoral success across the country and hold other Republicans accountable.
Apparently, Walker is already a few steps ahead of his billionaire boosters:
Walker said his post-victory goals included making the case for Wisconsin’s reforms, campaigning for like-minded candidates across the country and trying to influence policy by encouraging other leaders to take on bold reforms.Brace yourself, America. Walker’s death-to-the-middle-class "reform" tour could be coming to a town near you.
Walker also mentioned campaigning for Mitt Romney, and advising him to campaign like a reformer.
“In addition to helping in Wisconsin, I’ve told Governor Romney I’d help anywhere else, so they’re sending me a number of other places around the country that are scheduled for next,” he said.
