What scottie hasn't learned yet, however, is that he is not the one calling the shots now.<br /><br />The out-of-state billionaires behind this will take care of walker as he continues to play-ball. However, no matter what the implications are to walker's political career, he is first-and-foremost the public face on their legal posturing to tee-up legal challenges to expand Citizens United.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5888314760091661875.post-18388018639956934072014-07-22T00:07:06.863-05:002014-07-22T00:07:06.863-05:00Capper, thanks.
