Now, keep in mind that this was after the mining bill had failed in the Wisconsin Senate and this is the same Schultz that Walker personally threatened to run a Tea Party candidate against if he didn't fall into line and vote for Walker's union-busting bill, Act 10. (And yes, that has been confirmed by more than one source that was in the room at the time.)
I just can't figure out what Werwie meant when he said, "The support that ultimately may matter most to Schultz-- that of his constituents"?
Ohhhh... wait... I got it! The support of Schultz's constituents will ultimately matter the most in the next election when Team Walker runs a Tea Party candidate in the primary against him!
