MADISON - Republican gubernatorial
candidate Scott Walker says it's ridiculous to criticize his latest
campaign ad in which he dons boxing gloves and talks about taking swings
at Democratic opponent Tom Barrett.
Barrett, the Milwaukee mayor, was attacked
last year while intervening in a domestic dispute outside the state fair.
Walker said Wednesday in an interview with
The Associated Press that the ad was meant as a metaphor. He says,
"It has nothing to do personal with Tom Barrett. I think any average
voter can understand that."
Democratic Party Chairman Mike Tate says
the ad is in bad taste and Barrett says viewers can decide for themselves
whether it is.
Walker says he was simply reacting to
negative ads Barrett had been running against him for weeks.
