> Chachi loves Walker.
>
> Scott Baio — who played Chachi Arcola in “Happy Days” and its spinoff “Joanie Loves Chachi,” as well as the protagonist of “Charles in Charge” — tweeted his praise for Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, who is mulling a presidential run in 2016.
>
> “Gov. Walker sounds a lot like President Reagan. #WalkerForPres,” the tweet <https://twitter.com/ScottBaio/status/575482532172451840>read, with a picture of the actor posing alongside Walker.
>
> This is not the first time that Baio, a registered Republican, has offered support to a politician. In 2012, he endorsed <http://www.huffingtonpost.com/larry-atkins/newspaper-endorsements-sh_b_1932030.html>Mitt Romney in his run for the presidency and donated $5,000 to Romney’s primary and general election campaigns. (He also donated $12,500 to the Republican National Committee in the 2012 cycle.) In 2014, Baio donated $500 to the campaign of Tony Strickland, a Republican who ultimately lost his bid to succeed Buck McKeon in California’s 25th Congressional District.
>
> Baio is an outspoken conservative, at least by Hollywood standards. He attended <http://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/2012/10/15/qa-scott-baio-on-attending-ronald-reagan-funeral-being-gop-in-hollywood-and/> the state funeral of President Ronald Reagan and said <http://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/2010/01/21/scott-baio-death-threats-obama/> he received death threats in 2010 after tweeting a picture of first lady Michelle Obama with the comment, “WOW He wakes up to this every morning.”
>
> As for Walker, he has taken an early lead in a hypothetical presidential run that he has yet to officially announce. He has come out on top in various public-opinion surveys, such as a Quinnipiac University poll <http://www.politico.com/story/2015/02/scott-walker-iowa-republicans-2016-elections-115483.html>in late February in which Walker garnered support from 25 percent of caucus-going Republicans in Iowa, even when voters were given 11 other candidates to chose from.
>
> The Wisconsin governor faced an equally warm reception <http://www.politico.com/story/2015/02/cpac-scott-walker-run-115559.html>at the Conservative Political Action Conference in late February, where members of the audience at one point began to chant “Run, Scott, Run.”
