Great piece from Politifact, a nonpartisan site that fact-checks politicians. It has found, in part, the following:
In a fund-raising letter, Walker told supporters that he needs to build his campaign war chest because Baldwin and Obama have kept their campaign offices open in three Wisconsin locations, and have staff "preparing for the next battle."
There is no evidence of Obama or Baldwin offices. We found only a single employee of the successor to Obama’s campaign group, who didn’t start working until long after the statement was made. The Baldwin campaign has a single office in Madison -- not in the areas Walker mentioned in his claim.
And the limited evidence the Walker campaign provided to in support of the claim all came after the statement was made.
We rate Walker’s claim False.
