Walker ran an incredibly misleading attack on a rail project that had been in the planning for many years, under both Republican and Democratic leadership in Madison. That is not to say Doyle made great choices either (one can certainly question the Talgo decision and the choices regarding the MSN station location). However, Walker simply said "Stop this train" rather than something more nuanced, like working with the feds to possibly improve the project. Only after the MKE-MSN Hiawatha extension was canceled did he make a last-minute attempt to seek funding for CHI-MKE improvements.
