I'm not really sure how much of a compliment that is, but the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel is comparing Scott Walker to Lee Dreyfus. By and large, I think that their article is correct, though. Mark Green is going to be the establishment choice in this race, and he does have funding and state-wide organizational advantages over Scott Walker. Scott Walker has the advantage of having his base in the largest media market and population center in the state. I also think non-establishment state conservatives are feeling pretty rebellious right now because the they feel the state Republican party has betrayed them over and over again, which may give Walker another advantage come primary time if he continues to be portrayed as the non-establishment choice. One other thing that might have an affect on this race, albeit a smaller affect, is the fact that Wisconsin's conservative bloggers are heavily populated in Walker's back yard. That doesn't mean Walker will get all of us, but if he can get the majority, that is just another chorus of voices that might help him out in a close primary.
It is still very early, but this blogger is leaning towards Walker. Pro-Greenies, begin your screams in my comments-I know you guys are pretty passionate about Mark.
