Pretty good article about Walker; in a nutshell he may be able to get way with divisive racial politics in Wisconsin but will be harder for him to do on a national level....
it seems that he basically was using talk radio to shore up his power base...seems he is in cahoots with a Wisconsin version of LAs own morons, John and Ken of KFI 640...angry conservative talk radio.

Actually, it seems to be the answer to any question that Walker's asked:
"I don't know" whether The Theory of Evolution is correct.
"I don't know" whether the president loves America.
"I don't know" whether the President is a Christian.
Walker embarrasses himself on virtually a daily basis.

I guess Nailer is the punctuation Nazi hereabouts.

The religion question you claim the "I don't know" response was to does not appear in the article. The two questions I found in the article are both attributed to Walker.
BTW, "I don't know" is the correct answer regarding whether or not a theory is correct.

From the article:
Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, a prospective Republican presidential contender, said Saturday he does not know whether President Obama is a Christian.
“I don’t know,” Walker said in an interview at the JW Marriott hotel in Washington, where he was attending the winter meeting of the National Governors Association.
Are you saying that the Washington post is deliberately trying to deceive its readers?

Do you know the difference between advertisements, blogs, opinion pieces, and items reported under the newspaper's logo as hard news? They don't have the question inside quote marks, but they absolutely say that was the question asked, and Walker is quoted elaborating on his answer.
Yes, he was asked that question. You can take it to the bank.
Now, to my knowledge no one has asked if Walker has male sexual organs. But saying 'I don't know' to that would not be a cute way to badmouth him. Would it?
