Scott Walker never attained a degree from Marquette, but his presidential campaign for Associated Student President left an imprint.

Rebecca Kleefisch
Apparently Rebecca Kleefisch, the GOP candidate for lieutenant governor in Wisconsin, doesnt think the government should extend benefits to the partners of gay state employees. Here's her quote from a Christian radio program:We cant at this point afford to just be handing out money to anyone. This is a slippery slope in addition to that at what point are we going to OK marrying inanimate objects? Can I marry this table, or this, you know, clock? Can we marry dogs? This is ridiculous.
