Walker takes Unemployment Credit for Madison's Paul Soglin and Milwaukee's Tom Barrett.

Shout it from the hill top…

…since Scott Walker and possible gubernatorial challenger Mayor Paul Soglin took office within 3 months of each other in 2011, Walker added 60,000 jobs in Wisconsin.

But wait, 40,000 of those jobs were created in Madison, and the Madison area (Dane County), according to Soglin.

Someone is riding the coattails of progressive liberal Madison and Dane County (Milwaukee too, see below). Opportunistic Scott Walker. His reaction to Soglin’s plain talk thoughts about running?

“It would make for a lively race. He’s an unabashed throwback to the 1960s radical liberal. I’d love to have that battle.”

Here’s Upfront’s Mike Gousha interviewing Paul Soglin, who you’ll notice doesn’t use one political cliche or talking point about party or policy.

At 4 percent, the city of Milwaukee’s unemployment rate is tied for the lowest on record.
