The recent victory of Wisconsin Governor and conservative Scott Walker has provided the Romney campaign with proven strategies in achieving greater public and universal appeal, a fundamental aspect in securing victories in Midwestern battleground states. Walkers victory dealt a considerable low to the organized labor unions in Wisconsin, and its surrounding progressive and liberal base, indicating that despite not voting for a Republican presidential candidate in nearly 30 years, the state may serve as a decisive victory for Romney through a focused and strategic marketing campaign. Walker's $30 million in campaign funds is comparatively significant, and Romney's strong financial backing through devout PACs ensures that he'll have funding to maintain the same public influence on the national level. The unification of the Republic party in Wisconsin was also a fundamental aspect of Walker's victory, and such a national unification and endorsement may be significantly more difficult for Romney to achieve. Democratic observer feel such a national party mobilization would be far less effective, and have dismissed the Wisconsin congressional election as a financial anomaly. Walker's apparent conviction and championing of public interest will also be difficult for the perceivably cold and financially detached Romney to properly emulate. While the congressional election designated Wisconsin as a potential battleground state, recent election polling places Obama ahead by nearly 14 points.
