Getting to Yes for Mitch and Cheri Daniels

INDIANAPOLIS -- When the Indiana Republican Party found itself in a bind this spring, unable to lock down a high-profile keynote speaker for its big annual fundraising dinner, it was Gov. Mitch Daniels himself who came up with the solution: He'd get his wife, Cheri, to do it.

It was a bold move, considering that she had never given a high-profile speech before and generally has been reluctant to step onto the political stage. At the same time, her husband has been pondering a 2012 presidential bid (pondering it for the better part of 18 months, in fact) and the potential candidate himself has hinted that Cheri's the one person who could stop him -- because she's been described as uncomfortable about the intrusion such a campaign would have on their lives.

Two Statist, compromised, pro-abortion and homosexual rights ungodly reprobates on the ticket, whoopee. I am sure יְהֹוָה will be pleased with our picks assuming the hype is established and carried out (Only יְהֹוָה knows what our ignorant ways create).

Just what Zero wants... to go against a ticket of 2 Bush era throwbacks. I know little about Daniels and will hear him out if he runs, but the fact that he is being peddled by the MSM and the Bush machine makes his name a bad connotation in my mind.

Condi Rice is pro-choice, correct? And what are her views on affirmative action and on other social issues?

Daniels probably looks good in some poll to beat Obama as the media are starting already

If this is true, I couldn't care less about his candidacy. F 'em.....sounds like Kerry and his shrew of a wife in 2004.

Hmm.

Consider this: If Rice has somehow actually entered the field of potential VP prospects:

Palin / Rice

Sorry, I take a little of that back. At least Daniels has shown some effective pandering to the anti-abortion movement with the PP legislation. Just his past “stance” has been a little foggy. Condi, she still is a Statist and “feels good do it, kill the consequences” social humanist.

The media could have pulled the Condi VP out of there LONG articled hat as well as bashing Daniels wife for some hooter girls nickname?

I am not saying the GOP is showcasing any good candidates but Mother Teresa could run and it seems a lot on this forum would say

without thinking or viewing who the candidate is...

no no and no, until Palin throws her hat in. What if Palin never throws her hat in?
