Scott Walker's Flights of Fancy: He thinks he's gonna be President

Scott Walker has spent nearly $1 million in campaign cash on air travel. (Capital Times, 10/6/2014)

Rep.  Mark Pocan sums it up.
"The problem I think that we've noticed, is Scott Walker has been running for president since day one.  That’s where his real interests and ambitions are. We've kind of been paying the price. He’s not working hard to be governor; he’s working hard as a candidate for president." 

A trip to Las Vegas in March of this year garnered some publicity.

Sheldon Adelson contributed $250,000 to Walker on March 30, 2012.
