While Scott Walker decries "outside influence" on his recall efforts, he runs to obtain help and money from "outside influences" himself. Four donors alone accounted for a million dollars.

Governors under recall in WI are allowed to raise unlimited campaign cash. This is why the fake Walker petition for recall was filed early, by a Walker friend, in order to allow Walker to start raising cash early.

Doesn't seem like much support from small, in-state ("citizen") donors for Walker.

An analysis of Walker's latest campaign finance reports submitted Monday done by the government watchdog group the Wisconsin Democracy Campaign shows that 61 percent of his money came from out of state.

That includes $1 million he got from three Missouri donors and one from Texas over a single week earlier in January.

The Democracy Campaign says roughly half of the $4.5 million Walker raised over the past five weeks came from 33 individual donors.
