Wasserman Schulz May have Just helped Walker Win

The DNC Chair may have inadvertently given Republican Scott Walker the upper hand in the Governors race in Wisconsin.

With reports like what JSOnline is reporting below:

Democratic National Committee chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz ripped into Republican Gov. Scott Walker's record Wednesday during a round-table discussion on women's issues at the Milwaukee Athletic Club.

The Florida congresswoman said: "Scott Walker has given women the back of his hand. I know that is stark. I know that is direct. But that is reality."

Wasserman Schultz added: "What Republican tea party extremists like Scott Walker are doing is they are grabbing us by the hair and pulling us back. It is not going to happen on our watch."

Walker actually has a pretty good record on women's issues and has a staunch supporter and women's right leader in Lt. Gov Rebecca Kleifisch.  

So by the DNC Chair using these comments and inflaming women across the state she has put the Democratic Candidate in a very bad position.  Mary Burke has to either come out and defend what the DNC Chair has said or denounce them.  Mary Burke has chosen to do neither.  This puts her at a distinct disadvantage.  She now will have to defend her decision at every turn with women voters.

The comments have inflamed people involved in Domestic Violence.  The comments seem to minimize Domestic Violence and politicize those actions related to domestic violence.

Republican may denounce the actions of the DNC Chair, but the fact is that over the years she has been fantastic for them.  She has helped more GOP Candidates than she has hurt and most likely hurt more Democratic Candidates than she has helped.
