Walkers approval in Wisconsin is actually lower than Obama's approval.

What is the approval of his opponent?

Burke busted, goes ballistic

<snip>

The story of Burke’s departure from Trek must have hurt. Burke has now hit bottom as she seeks to associate Scott Walker with Nazism and swastikas in connection with the story (video of ad below). Ann Althouse explores the rationale behind the ad “Mary Burke’s use of the swastika in her ad does the very thing defenders of the ad will say she accuses her antagonist of doing.” Like an art critic with a taste for history, Althouse demonstrates that the ad’s motif fits into the tradition of unhinged anti-Walker iconography. Burke brings the motif to the surface and uses it for her own purposes. Althouse’s critique of the ad is a tour de force.

The ad draws in a twisted way on the Facebook page of former Trek executive Gary Ellerman, who asserts that Burke was fired from Trek for incompetence. Scott Walker has nothing to do with the story of Burke’s termination from Trek. Walker doesn’t have anything to do with Nazism or with swastikas either.
