Journal Sentinel data show significant percentage similarities in the Walker-Barrett 2010 and 2012 gubernatorial races.
But Walker got to spend and benefit from $35-$50 million, and an advantage over Barrett by something like 7:1 this time, so where's Walker's growth? Yes, he won, but not in a landslide.
You'd think all that money would have bought him more love.
