Republicans, as usual, have their undies in a bundle about Jim Doyle, claiming this time that he shouldn't have even stopped by at his own golf fundraiser Tuesday, a day he also devoted a lot of time to dealing with flood damage in the state.

One right-wing blogger has even started a poll about whether Doyle should donate the money to flood relief.

So, what was the unannounced Republican candidate for governor doing on Tuesday? Milwaukee County Exec Scott Walker was in Hayward and Rhinelander, raising money for a GOP State Senate candidate, Tom Tiffany -- and collecting some political IOUs for his campaign for gov.

Tuesday's calendar from WisPolitics:

Lunch with 12th SD candidate Tom Tiffany 6/10/2008 12 p.m. Lumberjack Steakhouse, 15860 T-Bone Lane, Hayward. County Executive Scott Walker $25 suggested minimum contribution PAC Accepted

Reception with 12th SD candidate Tom Tiffany 6/10/2008 5 p.m. Wisconsin River Cruises, 913 W. Kemp St., Rhinelander. Special Guest: County Executive Scott Walker $25 suggested minimum contribution PAC Accepted

The campaign unofficially kicks off in a week, when Walker shamlessly takes another taxpayer-financed motorcycle ride to every media market in the state, ostensibly to promote Milwaukee tourism, but really to get his mug on TV as he starts to run for 2010.

Should we do a poll about what to do with the money he raised for Tiffany?

Walker and Doyle were together, by the way, at a Monday news conference on Milwaukee County flooding, before Walker headed north to raise political money. And there were more than a few problems in Milwaukee County that Walker left behind.

Double standard, anyone?
