Noted: What a presidential candidate says on the road must square with voters back home, but some saw inconsistencies in Walker’s narrative and his political persona. While the news media in Wisconsin covered budget reductions stemming from the new state budget — including $250 million in cuts to the University of Wisconsin System — network and cable television showed Walker telling people in other states what he would do for them if he were elected president. His stump speeches on how his policies have made life better for residents in his home state seemed unfamiliar to those having to deal with diminished state funding under Walker’s leadership.
