Jim Webb joined the Democratic Party race. He's in the mold of an early 90s Democrat, but with the polarization of both parties those people in the moderate left are much, much fewer in number. I'm a Webb supporter, but I don't see a path to the nomination. Perhaps he could get a cabinet position such as Secretary of Defense.
We're down to Scott Walker and John Kasich (if he runs) left to announce.

Walker should announce soon now that the budget will pass. Solid budget will give him lots of talking points.
School Vouchers, special needs vouchers, repealed prevailing wages (this is a big one), cut $250 million from UW schools while freezing in-state tuitions, did not raise property taxes, drug testing for food stamps, larger tax deductions for married couples, lowered the amount the state stewardship program can borrow (this agency was out of control)...
