1) Cheeseheads are men (and women) of the people.
The Packers are the only publicly owned team in the NFL. More or less, Packers players are public employees. Walker seems to prefer corporate, private interests; especially energy companies (see Koch brothers). The Pack are the people's team. Walker's team must be a rich energy baron's team. I want to be very careful with libel laws here, so let me just say I suspect that Walker is a Cowboys fan.
2) Cheeseheads know that you have to nurture talent from within. You can't just throw money around and expect outsiders to come in and save you.
The Pack is not built around high-priced free agents. The team has invested in young players, or people whose potential has not been realized. Cheesehead do not use money to lure people who they hope will come in and solve all their problems. A cheesehead believes in education, not outside investors. Scott Walker is the Randy Moss (or Brad Childress?) of American politics.
3) Cheeseheads are loyal and patient.
Investments take time to pay off. A cheesehead works hard and supports the team, and knows that his/her reward will come with the team's. There is no "i" in "cheesehead." The cheesehead will sacrifice for the greater good. How committed is Walker to the state of Wisconsin? How much of his agenda is to position himself as a national candidate, say a vice-presidential pick to shore up credibility with conservatives? Walker wants to be a free-agent. Aaron Rogers is a cheesehead. Is Scott Walker Brett Farve (circa 2008)?
Finally, cheeseheads know that sometimes you make a bad pick. If you start the guy but you find out he isnt who you thought he was, you have to pull him. Scott Walker is Jay Cutler. We don't want Jay Cutler as governor. Time to recall Scott Walker.
