The POD is Milwaukee County Executive and former member of the Wisconsin State Assembly running unopposed in the Wisconsin Gubernatorial Republican Primary of 2006 (no Congressman Mark Green). Despite 2006 being a bad year for the Republican Party, Walker narrowly defeats incumbent Governor Jim Doyle in November. As OTL, Walker easily wins re-election in 2010 over his Democratic opponent, Former Congressman and Mayor of Milwaukee, Tom Barrett. Walker then decides to announce his candidacy for president sometime in early or mid-2011. Can Walker win the Republican Party's presidential nomination over OTL's Mitt Romney? Maybe for starters, he could win the Iowa Republican Caucus, forcing Rick Santorum, Rick Perry, and Michele Bachmann to drop out. As OTL, Romney wins New Hampshire, forcing Huntsman to drop out. As OTL, Gingrich wins South Carolina and Romney wins Nevada, but maybe have Walker win second place in both contests. All Walker would need is to get the most out of Super Tuesday. Who do you think his Vice Presidential nominee would be? I was considering Marco Rubio, because in OTL 2016, he mentioned it as a possibility. How do you think he does against Barack Obama in November?
