Love it when King said maybe his next horror novel should feature FL gov. Rick Scott.
There's one common thread between Scott in Florida and Walker in Wisconsin. They both campaigned on rejecting high-speed rail money, on account of the states possibly being on the hook for the relatively modest operating expenses. Never mind that those operating expenses would be more than made up for by the economic development generated.
Here's the thing. The Walkers and Scotts don't want anything that benefits their states if those benefits skew more towards Democratic interests than Republican interests. It's party first, state second.
This sort of madness should have been enough of a warning to the voters of WI and FL that these candidates didn't have their states' best interests in mind. Scott Walker may never have made arbitrary union-busting part of his campaign, but based on his campaign, it shouldn't have come as a surprise.
