Special election may not happen until November
Daniels does indeed remind me of Barry.
Mitch Daniels first needs to find out who his friends are (or could be) and who they are not. Pissing off Rush like he did some days ago could have been prevented. I’ll say this much, if my choice was between Daniels and Romney I’d vote for Daniels in a heartbeat.
Looks like we have our next McCain.
Just another phony politician.
Daniels has not convinced me yet that he’s not just another RINO. Of course, the top 6 or so GOP Presidential aspirants are also RINOs.
Gerson is the epitome of the DC elite ruling class. That says a lot about Daniels.
From George Will’s column last week:
“Daniels has practiced the lean government he preaches. Under him, Indiana has its fewest state employees since 1978, the nation’s lowest state government employment per capita, lowest effective property taxes and third-lowest per-capita spending.”
His tenure at OMB and his two terms as Governor of Indiana have shown me that he walks the walk when it comes to fiscal realism. He will disappoint on a number of social/values fronts (primarily because he will not address them in a campaign in order to attract the Reagan Democrats and independents who see the economic and national security issues as eclipsing everything else at this time). I will be anxious to see if immigration reform/enforcement is a plank in the national security platform, which I expect.
Mitch Daniels open to VAT, oil tax hike
BTW, I didn't see any one reading any of his letters to the TEA Party crowd in Madison yesterday...
Baring unforseen changes in the political climate between now and the 2012 election (and that’s a big IF) In order to win we need a candidate that brings in fiscally conservative independents. The true crisis facing our nation is the debt, the liberals are a secondary threat. If we solve the debt crisis the liberals lose and we marginalize them at the same time. The candidate needs to bring this country together under the banner of solving our debt crisis. I’m not saying that Mich Daniels is necessarily the one, but I like what I hear. I could easily vote for a Daniels/Christie ticket.
VAT
SOCIAL VALUES
...’nuff said
RINOS Join Rats in Rejecting Additional $22 Billion in Budget Cuts
SRM picking our candidate, again.
Governor says time to dump labor bill
Gov. Mitch Daniels signaled this afternoon that Republicans should to drop the right-to-work bill that has brought the Indiana House to a standstill for two days and imperiled other measures.
Daniels told reporters this afternoon that he expects House Democrats will return to work if the bill dies. It would be unfortunate if other bills are caught up in the turmoil, he said.
He will not send out state police to corral the Democrats, the Republican governor said.
