I kind of hope they do nominate Walker. The disastrous results of his tenure in Wisconsin would be spotlighted for people who don’t obsessively follow the political news like we do. His ownership by the Koch brothers, and the baleful effects of Citizens united would also be discussed prominently, and comparisons with Brownback, Launer, Kasich, Snyder, etc. wouldn’t be missing either.

I think it would be an education for voters who don’t really hang on the political news—much more so than some referendum on Bush vs. Clinton would be.
