Pence talks Security, Run for President
WANE ^ | 1-9-2010 | Matt McCutcheon

FORT WAYNE, IND. (WANE) - Congressman Mike Pence talked to NewsChannel 15’s Matt McCutcheon about a variety of issues in the New Year, including the economy, national security, and a potential run for President in 2012.

Despite the Winter Blast Thursday afternoon, Pence held town hall meetings in preparation for the upcoming session on Capitol Hill. In a sit down interview with NewsChannel 15, he said there’s a lot of work to be done during that session.

"This is about jobs and spending. The American people are tired of the failed economic policies of this administration and this congress. From the time they've passed their stimulus bill, we've seen unemployment rise from 7.5% to 10% nationally," Pence said.

“Will your name be on the list for contenders for President,” NewsChannel 15’s Matt McCutcheon asked. “Well... I don't know. If I'm re-elected in 2010, we'll take a look at a number of opportunities. I'm devoting all of my energy and all of my attention to winning back the congress and the statehouse for conservative values and we'll let the future take care of itself,” Pence said.

Video and more are at the link. I hope Pence runs. A couple of friends of mine up here in the People's Republic of Ann Arbor informed me about Pence back around 2006. When others spent like Obama, Pence and the rest of the Republican Study Committee did his best to try and stop it, and was stepped on a couple of time because of it.

I too like Pence, altho I like Sarah a great deal, I would like to see her serve time doing some other things first. Not sure exactly what, but she needs more time to hone her skills. Pence on the other hand is ready to lead.

Got it.

Ouch! Lake effect, right? EXTRA COLD WINDS and COLD! YIKES! Where on Lake Erie? I used to spend a few weeks every summer at Lakeside (near Sandusky, even closer to Marblehead) where my grandparents had a cottage...remember getting mouthfuls of canadian soldiers at certain times of the yr.....ew!!!!! Also remember laying on the great pier of Lakeside and watching the water endlessly...could sometimes see Perry's Monument and could always see Kelly's Island from there.

Wouldn’t even consider Pence. I first noticed him when, near the end of the 2006 amnesty debate, he came forward with a grand scheme to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. It was bizarre, the amnesty push was all but defeated and here he came with a plan he misrepresented in public:

What informs your opinion?

I love Pence but I love even more falling out of love with frauds.
