Politics blog: Walker launches national fundraising tour, including Florida stop

State Journal reporters Mary Spicuzza and Clay Barbour bring you their takes on state and Madison-area politics.

Gov. Scott Walker has launched a national fundraising tour in an effort to defend the eight Republican state senators facing recall elections, a conservative website is reporting.

Walker was in Florida on Friday, the Newsmax website said, to drum up support for FrontlineWisconsin.com. The FrontlineWisconsin website urges people to donate up to $8,000, or $1,000 for each state senator, to "send a message across America that the people we elect can take courageous votes and stand by their convictions."

Walker said little about the Florida trip or other fundraising efforts during a news conference Tuesday afternoon.

"Governor Walker is committed to defending the Republican Senators who stayed in Wisconsin and stood up for middle class taxpayers by making the tough choices to balance our budget," said Katie McCallum, a spokeswoman for the Republican Party of Wisconsin.

Walker talked about the likely recount in the court race.

"That will be pretty costly," Walker said. "But I think it's pretty clear that the big government labor-union bosses that have been fighting the reforms in Wisconsin now for the past month and a half, I don't think they're going to give up."............
