Wisconsin's Republican Gov. Scott Walker is dreaming big for 2016, but first, he's got a big fight on his hands for his more immediate political future.

Walker, 46, is locked in a nail-biter against his Democrat opponent, Mary Burke, in a race for his second term that polls are calling a dead heat and much too close to call, the Washington Post reports.

He's been very successful, and he wants to run for President.  He'd be tough to beat.  Therefore:  He must be "Palinized."  They've been at it since the budget repair bill.

This is the result of the same people being polled over and over again. After a while they just tell them what they think they want to hear and move on! Changes nothing.
