Heavy Walker presence to start

Milwaukee County Exec Scott Walker's campaign is out in force at the convention.

His placards are posted everywhere in the La Crosse Convention Center, and a good chunk of the people milling around are either sporting Walker T-shirts or stickers.

Walker also announced this afternoon that he's been endorsed by 37 out of 46 Assembly Republicans and nine of the 15 GOP state senators.

See the release.
