Behold the Group That Is Dogging Scott Walker's Every Move ................................................................................................................................................. Feb 11, 2015 4:40 AM CST John McCormick bloomberg.com <More Here> One floor above a vacant restaurant between the state capitol and the University of Wisconsin in Madison, a half dozen people work long days to do everything they can to make sure Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker is never elected president. Their modest office is decorated with anti-Walker bumper stickers and memorabilia from when he moved to limit collective bargaining for most state workers, triggering the state's most intense chapter of recent political history. That 2011 fight made Walker both a national hero to conservatives and a prime target for Democrats. It also galvanized One Wisconsin Now, a progressive advocacy organization that focuses on watch-dogging Walker. "I suspect there is nobody who has more information on Scott Walker than we do," said Mike Browne, the group's deputy executive director, sitting a few feet from a bullhorn used in 2011 during a period when up to 100,000 protested at the state capitol. The group's leaders and research are routinely quoted by Wisconsin media. With the exception of Hillary Clinton—whose decades-long career has spawned an industry of Republican opposition research—none of the other prospective 2016 candidates face a home-state-attack group as battle-tested as Walker's. That presents an added hurdle as he seeks to take advantage of momentum in early polling in Iowa and New Hampshire, the two states that start the nomination voting. Laurel Patrick, a Walker spokeswoman, didn't respond to an e-mail seeking comment on One Wisconsin Now. Walker is in England this week as part of a four-day trade mission. (snip) <More Here>
