And I think that’s it.  With Scott Walker’s entry this morning, all the major candidates and more than a few minor ones are in the GOP race for President.  All the hats are thrown in the ring.  All the clowns are in the car.

What is it — 17?

Walker could be a contender.  He’s not very dynamic, which means the more colorful candidates could drown him out before he can build momentum.  He needs to stick around long enough for the herd to thin out of the nutbars, and then hit his stride.  He should be able to do that because he’s got a solid résumé as a small-government conservative. His social-conservative credentials are also strong, but without the culture-warrior baggage that sometimes brings. And Walker has won three difficult elections in a blue-ish state.  Plus — and perhaps most importantly — he’s reputed to be a favorite of the Kochs.

And not for nothing, but his campaign website has a good “missing page” webpage.
