Watch Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker launch his bid for the GOP Nomination from Waukesha, Wisconsin.

The declared candidate spoke for about forty minutes stating that he's a fighter.  The governor who has won three elections including one recall effort.  He told the crowd he's for education reform, the end of Obama Care, and no deal with Iran.  Walker had one of the fifty two American Hostages held by Iran in 1979 at his announcement.

The speech was well received by many of the prospective primary voters.  Walker spent less time going over his Wisconsin record and focused on his vision if elected.  The governor is holding a significant lead in the first in the nation caucus state Iowa.  The appeal of Walker is that he's won and kept a blue state.

One factor that the fifteenth GOP candidate mentioned was his affinity for shopping at Kohls.  He likened fixing the economy to how the department store makes money.  He went so far as to mention clipping coupons, buying a shirt of the discount rack, and using Kohls' Cash.  ( I don't think he'll have to worry about Donald Trump stealing that line!)
