Shoot. I thought for a second there this was about Charlie Daniels.

[sausageseller]

Il, Oh, Mi are in the tank, In has millions in cash on hand and they are still bashing Mitch. I don't get it.

Mitch said in his acceptance speech he was not running again for any office!

[Kimmers]

I do not think there is a perfect candidate out there and people including FReepers will find fault in everyone....

[saganite]

Yes he’s better than most any Democrat, but he’s definitely a Bushie Pub.

Which probably explains the “enthusiasm” expressed by the Republican party in keeping him around. The stupid party still wants to ignore it’s base.

[org.whodat]

The state election two year ago. You proved you do not know the history of the man.

[oblomov]

Based on my experience with Daniels, he is reliably conservative on business/economic issues, and is quite liberal on some, but not all social issues. The first time he ran, he was opposed in the primary by an unapologetic social conservative, but he had no serious challengers this time.

Daniels is to the right of Dick Lugar, but that’s not saying much.

Could he do well in a national election? Perhaps. He has been a successful administrator in both the private and public sectors, and transformed all of the organizations he worked for.

[fieldmarshaldj]

No.

And, what you know about Indiana you could put in a thimble.

[LesbianThespianGymnasticMidget]

Republican today doesn’t = conservative.

That needs to change fast if we have a farts chance in a hurricane of weak kneed wimpy woosies with no balls.

F em. If they are fools let them rot.

Our way or the highway.

Dems do it. They won. Reach down and find a pair and tell the bleeding heart to go F themselves. (nicely)

[daylilly]

Maybe secretary of the treasury but that is it. He does not have what it takes to head a national ticket.

[Kimmers]

Sorry to get yer hopes up !!!!

[what's up]

Dems do it. They won.

LOL.

Dems do it? Basically say whatever they need to to get elected.

You would really let your candidates do that? Nonsense. The opposite is true with the right. A couple flaws and they're out.

[LesbianThespianGymnasticMidget]

No FRiend... they do not compromise.

I AM DONE COMPROMISING.

MY WAY OR FO and burn with the rest of them.

[Grunthor]

“transformed all of the organizations he worked for.”

Doesn’t say much. “Transformed” can be taken many ways.

[MSF BU]

DRAFT DODGER. Next candidate please.

[Glenn]

at least we could win back Indiana!

Did Gore win TN?
