Walker wants to be anything but Milwaukee County Executive

Milwaukee County Executive Scott Walker seems to be hunting for any job other than the one he currently has. The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel has this story on Walker being interested in the 5th Congressional seat currently occupied by Rep. James Sensenbrenner (R-Any place there aren't immigrants).

Was this the deal that the Republicans offered to Walker to get him out of the race for governor? And did folks forget to run it by Sensenbrenner? He seems none to happy that people are openly discussing his retirement without him.
Said Sensenbrenner of those speculating about his retirement: "It would be nice if they would ask me if I was thinking about retiring first (before commenting). Because I would have told them."

Are Milwaukee County voters are upset that they have been used by Walker as nothing more than a platform to another job? (Especially since he is doing his level best to run the county into the ground before he leaves.)

Perhaps the voters of Milwaukee County will be happy to help Walker find a new job soon so he doesn't have any more time to ruin the county financially.

Walker wants to get out before he has to put together the 2008 budget let alone the 2007 budget.

His sales tax scheme which the JS and other mainstream media outlets have failed to cover will begin to heavily unravel before spring of 08 when he would have to run for re-election for the exec spot.
