And when Walker finally lost, it took everything Daley had in his bag of tricks to beat him, including the sacrifice of the governor's office to the Republicans.
Maybe it's because Walker has been out of office for a while and his supporters have started to scatter and he's still in debt from the 1976 primary.
Anyone who watched Walker operate on that walk in 1971 or shake hands at plant gates in 1976 — when he went one-on-one with Daley and ignored Hewlett — will tell you Walker doesn't need much besides his political instincts to regroup the constituency that put him in the Executive Mansion in the first place.

 Hamilton College - News, Sports, Events - Dan Walker '05 Studying Conspicuous Concealment in Novel
Last summer, while working as an assistant in the English department offices, Dan Walker ’05 (Marcellus, NY) was able to begin reading and researching with Hamilton College Professor Onno Oerlemans about an idea called “conspicuous concealment” and its role in Nathaniel Hawthorne’s novel The Blithedale Romance.
Walker and Oerlemans argue that the novel itself is “a critique of the hazards that mass media and celebrity pose for a society.” The critique Hawthorne outlines remains “as relevant today, in the face of voyeuristic TV shows and a sensationalistic press, as it was 150 years ago,” Walker and Oerlemans say.
Walker is a rising senior majoring in English literature and music.

 2005-03-02-Dan Walker-R.M. Levy
Not long ago I was reading Thirst for Independence: The San Diego Water Story, by Dan Walker, who had grown up in the Encanto neighborhood of San Diego before moving to Illinois where a career in the law and politics led to his serving as that state's governor.
After leaving office, Walker became a principal in a savings and loan association, and engaged in what the federal government contended were illegal loan practices.
Reading Walker’s book resulted in my learning about the various dams on San Diego County rivers, our county's dependence on imported water from the Colorado and Feather Rivers, and—not surprisingly, given the background of the author—some of the behind-the-scenes forces governing the politics of water.

 Expedited Clean Up Needed on the East Walker River, Dan Bacher, Fish Sniffer Online
The East Walker River, a river whose legendary brown and rainbow trout fishery has rebounded dramatically from a huge fish kill in 1988, faces a new threat caused by an oil spill by a truck accident in December.
The river made national headlines during the drought of 1988-89, when the East Walker Irrigation District drained the river, destroying the trophy fishery after tons of silt poured into the river, smothering the fish.
Three separate teams of biologists from the US Fish and Wildlife Service, the Nevada Division of Wildlife and California and Fish and Game were deployed to assess the degree of damage and to determine clean up strategies.
