Walker Losing Support of Koch Brothers?

"According to a number of well-respected journalists, the Koch brothers are putting their heft and
muscle behind Scott Walker for president. Or maybe not. It depends on whom you ask.
So when the news hit that David Koch had told a gathering at a Manhattan fundraiser that the nominee should be Scott Walker, it was as if there was nothing left to talk about. The deciders had decided.
But then something kind of funny happened. Walker’s recently terminated spokesperson sent out a series of notable tweets:
Internal polling must be looking dubious, showing attrition to more grassroots-conservative-preferred candidates for him to try this one.

David Koch then made a statement walking back this apparent endorsement:
While I think Governor Walker is terrific, let me be clear, I am not endorsing or supporting any candidate for President at this point in time." Salon
