Remember the Bush years? Do you really want another president who can't communicate very well with the American people? Remember how frustrating it was when Bush, who wasn't particularly conservative in the first place, actually tried to push some good policies and consistently failed utterly at media and PR war?
This country is in serious trouble and the American public still refuses to cut the social welfare state. We REALLY need someone who can begin explaining that the nanny state is a failure and needs to be significantly scaled back. We need a real leader in the bully pulpit. Daniels may very well do the right things, but we need more than that from a President.
Bush’s problem in part, was his not fighting back and he can thank Karl Rove for that brilliant advice. That is why I do not take Rove very seriously.
