Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker is sending mixed messages about his presidential ambitions after winning re-election on Tuesday. Walker told The Associated Press in an interview that any decision about running for president ‘will have to wait long after’ he works with the Legislature on passing the next state budget, which typically would be in June. But the 47-year-old son of a preacher seemed to be speaking to people across the country, not just Wisconsin, in his victory speech. Walker says that in America, ‘you can do and be anything you want!’ He also took some shots at federal politicians, saying the difference between Wisconsin and Washington was that in Wisconsin, ‘we believe the opportunity is equal but the outcome is up to each and every one of us.’
