Pence has taken his game up to the next level.I thought it would be impossible for Pence to top his 2004 CPAC speech,but he did it.
The more I read about him the more I like him.
The more I read of him the more I like, I would be happy to support him in 2008.
Basically, Spectator was saying that Pence never should have been relegated to 8:30 in the morning since ,in their opinion, he is the best we have.They also commented while Pence does get respect,he is constantly being underestimated.
It would be nice to have someone to vote for.
and no CFR membership!
BTTT
You know, I can't think of the fella's name off hand, but wasn't there another guy who they too 'underestimated'? They said no actor could ever become President, especially one as old as he was. His views on matters, domestic and foreign, were deemed by many, even in his own Party, as 'radical' and 'dangerous'.
That man's name is right on the tip of my tongue, I know it'll come to me...
He will have enemies lined up against him.
And if he takes off, they will try to saddle him with some worthless loser, same as they did to Reagan.
Not here on FR. We have too many liberals to make fun of, too many moderates and RINO's to appease, the MSM to complain about and too many polls to FReep. And don't you dare say anything bad about President Bush and the "Republican" party. Bye, Troll.

A real Midwesterner.
The election will be decided in the Midwest. A Midwesterner at the top of the ticket would be good.
Sadly, I'll probably get the choice of McInsane, Hillary, or None Of The Above.
Unhappily, I'll vote for "None Of The Above"
Pence in the Morning - Saturday, February 11, 2006 @ 11:02:49 AM
Somehow, Congressman Mike Pence was relegated to 8:30 Saturday morning at CPAC. What a cryin' shame. His address was a rousing call to action. He argued that not only is the Republican movement off course, but that wrong heading is accepted. The party in D.C. accepts more government as the accepted philosophy of government. "We control the spending and the process and we wonder how things got to such a state." Pence has posted his prepared remarks on his campaign website. Read it all. It's vastly different from the tunnel vision offered by so many of the party leaders these days, especially those in Washington.
Speaking of Washington, at a bloggers' reception hosted by Human Events after his address, a man from Washington State asked how he can get Rep. Pence to visit and rally the troops there. He answered that he just needed to be invited, but offered a few thoughts on the two Washingtons: "You're the Washington that I like. You're sitting in 30 square miles surrounded by a place called reality. That's a Washington where they produce things." Indeed.
This is a man who has fun discussing political philosophy at 9 a.m. on a Saturday morning. He's a man of ideas. He's friendly, genuine, humble, has gravitas, and loves his wife, Karen. When he entered the room, he made sure he located her and had her seated at his side before he began. This is a man who is still calling for the abolition of the Department of Education (remember that, Republicans?) and said that if U.N. reform fails, the U.S. "should seriously consider the formation of a new world body of free peoples." He's rightly suspicious of the establishment, joking that his daughter wasn't impressed by his award of Human Events Man of the Year. "If Dad's ever Time magazine Man of the Year, it's time to lock him up."
Even though Pence is a rising star among the conservative movement and, to a lesser extent, within the party, he's still underestimated. He's got the right stuff, and he's speaking at 8:30 Saturday morning.

I would be satisfied with a Pence/Allen ticket. That would be cool.
...and unbeatable, in landslide proportions.
