That sound you heard was Mitch Daniels throwing Scott Walker under the bus
a recent tweet that I relish.
Okay, so Governor Walker has lost Governor Daniels. That's okay, he still has the other governors support.
Wait.....what's that you say? Oh-oh, Governor Rick Scott just turned chicken?
Wait....did you say something about the Michigan governor? Ya, actually, I did, just read below the fold and you will see that Walker is on the ground, on his back, looking up at the bottom of the bus.

It would be unfortunate if other bills are caught up in the turmoil, he said.He will not send out state police to corral the Democrats, the Republican governor said.
Gov. Rick Scott says state shouldn’t move to take away collective bargaining rights

Gov. Rick Scott said during a radio interview Tuesday that Florida shouldn’t move to take away public employees’ collective bargaining rights as the Republican governor of Wisconsin has proposed, reports the News Service of Florida.

Amid days of protest in Wisconsin over legislation to limit collective bargaining, Michigan Governor Rick Snyder said he won't "pick fights" with the state's employee unions.
"We're going to go negotiate with our unions in a collective-bargaining fashion to achieve goals," the Republican governor said in an interview. "It's not picking fights. It's about getting people to come together and say here are the facts, here are the common-ground solutions."
These fellas really stuck together didn't they? One look at the Wisconsin protests and the resulting polls and they buckled. Sure, they have plenty of their own bad ideas to put forth but at least they backed down on Walker and the Koch brothers' bill.
THANKS WISCONSIN PROTESTERS!
THANKS OHIO PROTESTERS!
THANKS PROTESTERS FROM ALL THE OTHER STATES!
THANKS INDIANA PROTESTERS!
