Now Scott Walker is a Baby Daddy?

Things are getting pretty nasty in the Wisconsin recall. If it is true that Scott Walker got his girlfriend pregnant in college, denied paternity, told her he didn’t care if she had an abortion, and then eventually had to acknowledge paternity after she had the baby, that’s not very impressive behavior on his part, and certainly isn’t consistent with either his personal anti-choice stance or the GOP’s mantra about personal responsibility. But the timing of the story isn’t great. It makes it look like a last minute dirty trick. The same can be said for David Schuster’s report that the governor faces imminent indictment for campaign finance crimes. I guess the stakes are pretty high here, and both sides are playing for keeps.
