Walker channels Doyle's 'Help is on the way'
Scott Walker, the Republican nominee for governor who's never had an original thought, has recycled a "brown bag" theme from a campaign in another state and made it the centerpiece of his campaign.
Now, on primary night, he declares that, "Help is on the way."
That's far from an original line, of course. But it's not even original for a candidate running for governor of Wisconsin.
It is Jim Doyle's theme from the closing days of the 2002 campaign, when he won his first term.
Doyle used "Help is on the way" in at least two television commercials. And he began a speech to WEAC, the state teachers union, on Oct. 24, 2002 by declaring:
I am pleased to be with you today . . . to have this opportunity to discuss my vision for Wisconsin . . . and let you all know . . . and let the people of Wisconsin know . . .Help is on the way!
Who would have guesed it was Scott Walker who's running to serve Doyle's third term?
