Before trying out Scott Walker as President, how about hearing from the people who have had to put up with him as governor?

Call me crazy, but proving to Republicans that Democrats are not fond of a Republican governor seems simultaniously easy, and pointless.
I'm hardly sold on Walker, but if we want to "hear from the people that have had to put up with him as Governor," wouldn't it make more sense to look at election returns than a partisan video?
Elected 2010, with 52.3% of the vote. Beat the recall 2012, with 53.1% of the vote. Reelected 2014, again 52.3% of the vote. Obviously, there are enough people in Wisconsin who absolutely loathe him, to have held a recall, but not enough that he doesn't keep winning elections. A polarizing figure, at the least.
But, hey, who didn't already know that?
