[what's up]

However the disasters of cap and trade, obamacare, etc are of much more immediate concern imho

I believe that is Daniels' point.

He has said his first priority is reforming entitlements. Good for him. This alone will take care of a while host of "social issues".

Also, he has called the enviros "zealots" and out to devastate the economy. I like his thinking.

Mitch Daniels has grown Indiana state bureaucracies by raising taxes,(for the children).

What good is fighting over gay marriage and affirmative action while our economic livlihoods are being destroyed.
