In politics, like poker, you’re always looking for a tell. Kasich’s letter was a tell. Pence’s speech at ALEC was a tell. Even Al Melvin’s embrace of the BBA in his campaign for Governor of AZ was a tell. Scott Walker is facing a rogue DA, and he’s got to get reelected, big. And there’s his run for President looming. If he decides to come out for the BBA the way Kasich and Pence have, we’ve got ourselves a serious tell. I’m dying to find out. I guess I’ll ask Gary Bantz about it. He’s tight with our Wisconsin sponsor, Chris Kapenga. I’m not.
What this is telling us is that in 2014 high profile Republican candidates are going to be pushing the BBA. They’re sincere, of course, but they’re doing it because they see it as a winning issue. This should trickle down to state legislative candidates. All good. This could become infectious. Snowball. In my opinion the 2016 nominee will be either Walker, Pence, or Kasich. If all three are pushing the BBA, it’s a high profile national issue. All good.
Another tell is the dog that didn’t bark. Where the hell were the Democrats in Ohio? Where was the AFL-CIO? Where were the teachers? The whole crew that led the rescission campaign. That’s a tell.
We may have the big mo.
