Walker focused on helping McCain, GOP legislators

Milwaukee Co. Exec. Scott Walker says he's not looking ahead yet to 2010 and the governor's race, instead he's focused on helping John McCain win the White House and Republicans win seats in the state Legislature.

Walker, who in April was re-elected to his second full term as county executive, is considered by many to be the frontrunner for the 2010 GOP nomination for governor. Walker ran for governor in 2006, but dropped out before a primary with Mark Green. Green eventually lost in the general election to Democratic Gov. Jim Doyle

Walker said Doyle will be vulnerable if he runs for re-election because of "broken promises and all the failed slogans." He said on the single biggest issue facing Wisconsin families, the economy, "we've seen next to nothing from this governor."
