He's finished.

Pulling this stuff on a holiday weekend, after you've been hit with an open records request, and 2 weeks before you announce a candidacy for President...

This is going to leave a mark. With a sledgehammer.

And he was the one that I thought was the strongest GOP candidate of the bunch. Talk about a glass jaw. One hit and ..poof...

Bye, Felicia.

The very media that have covered up the least transparent president in our history will now howl at Walker and try to force him out of the race.

The Republicans are going to force him out before the media gets the chance to do much to him.

By the way...its better this came out now...rather than later for the GOP.

I wouldn't be surprised that the people behind the open records request, was one of the 15 other GOP candidates.

I want more details, but you would be correct if the facts are bad.

I've been washed out to sea by a wave -- think the end of The Perfect Storm -- of irony from Obama supporters decrying something not being transparent.

Abandoning thread. A sufficiently long rescue rope for that amount of fail is defies the laws of physics.

Nothing there says he's behind or supports it.

I don't see how this finishes Walker. Hilary is up to her neck in observed instances of her attempts to subvert transparency. Obama is a joke when it comes to transparency and despite what the media does not cover we all know how much Obama sucks as a leader. IDK, all candidates have their sins...

Read the story and I must be missing something.

Amazing what isn't (and is) there when you read past the headline, ain't it.

Seems to be typical of the major candidates in both parties. The America we live in.

Talk about a non-story.

That said, I wish Walker would get out of the race as I don't see him as a viable candidate. Plus, if he drops out, his money men most likely goes to Kasich, who can win in 2016.

Doubtful.... Walker's exit simply makes either Bush or Rubio's candidacies seem more plausible.

Kasich, is probably a 'fall back' guy who is there simply in case Rubio or Bush falls apart.

I always get really amused when a liberal is distressed about a conservatives failing campaign.

How does one cover up a President that is supposedly already the least transparent?

Obama has (by far) the least transparent administration in the last 100 years. He makes Nixon look good. It will take decades to unravel Obama's shenanigans.

The media could highlight this lack of transparency and make the American public aware of it. That could, in turn, put pressure on Obama to become more transparent. But the media is silent.

If George Bush had operated in such secrecy, the media would have been all over it like flies on sh-t. We would have heard about it every day.

Big Whoop!
Walker is just following the advice of HHS contractor and ACA author Gruber who stated: "Lack of transparency is a huge political advantage."

At least he isn't communicating secretly on his own private secure server keeping it completely off of the record.

Kasich is a republican I could vote for.

Nothing short of a Republican candidate murdering Someone can be any worse than what Obama and Hillary have done. Oh wait........................Vince Foster !

Same here. Had some issues with his first year as Governor but now I think he's done a great job.
