Scott Walker Using Mitt Romney Mailing List
This blogger gets a lot of spam e-mail. That’s true of everybody, but we tend to get more political spam than other people.
Recently, we got two e-mail messages from Scott Walker. Since he’s clearly running for president, this is hardly surprising.
Here is one of the e-mails.
Here is the other.
What is interesting is that both come from the Mitt Romney campaign, apparently using a mailing list left over from 2012.
But clicking on the link sends one to “Friends of Scott Walker.”
Of course, it doesn’t say “Walker for President,” but everybody knows that’s what it is, de facto.
The e-mail says “This message reflects the opinions and representations of Friends of Scott Walker, and is not an endorsement by Mitt Romney.”
Sure. But we will see how many other candidates get to send out fundraising e-mails with the Romney list. At a minimum, this is “endorsement lite.”
This could be a minus for Walker among conservatives who think Romney was too soft a conservative, or a plus as a “semi,” “maybe,” “somewhat” endorsement by an important Republican figure. But it’s early in the election season, any anything one says at this point is little better than speculation.

I just got a Scott Walker fundraising email, and noticed the same thing.
Perhaps equally interesting is the message I saw when I clicked the unsubscribe link:
steven@(redacted) has been unsubscribed and will not receive any more mail from Jeb_20150716_RomneyDonors.
That suggests that Jeb Bush is also renting the list.
