Wisconsinites drown Scott Walker out at State Fair with chants of "Shame."

Political protesters shouted down Gov. Scott Walker Thursday as he officially declared the fair open for business.

From the moment Walker stepped on stage for the State Fair opening ceremony, a group of protesters in the crowd tried to shout him down.

But Walker carried on, trying not to let it interfere with his message, or the fair itself.

"Eight hundred thousand people are going to be here this week, and that handful of people will not distract the majority. People from around the state and around the Midwest are going to come and have a fun time," Walker said.

There was a also a strong showing of Walker supporters in the crowd, but they appeared outnumbered and outshouted by the anti-Walker protesters.

If this is any indication of Walker's political future in Wisconsin it doesn't exactly look very bright.

Perhaps a lesson to others that putting corporations ahead of your constituents is going to bite you in the ass in the long run.
