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.

If Mitch Daniels were the nominee, he’d need a strong conservative to be his running mate. Herman Cain would be an exciting choice. So would John Bolton.

Hey, Mitch.
Just stay in the senate and do your job! We need you there - not spending the next year and half campaigning!

Good grief. Our ‘representatives’ now spend more time on the campaign trail than in DC representing us.

Condi like Obama...

That would be a race where the Rinos and Obama try to out socialist and politically correct one another. I bet Obama would win.

If he's the nominee, then we are in trouble, and a strong conservative will not cancel him out.

Mitt needs to hang it up. They only way I’ll support him is if he’s the last man standing. It’ll be another McCain vote. Even then it’ll mean holding my breath, and I don’t know if I have any breath in me anymore.

If she never throws her hat in, then I firmly believe she wasn’t supposed to.

If he picks Condi - a lot of the sheeple Rs will vote for him, this is a recipe for disaster

He has not announced yet . The headline might as well say he will pick a man form Mars.

Republicans own the House but bent over on the budget....Will not hold fast on the debt ceiling either, they will watch it & vote to raise it.
It’s like watching a crash being played over & over in slow motion. With the group of RINOS coming forward & everyone saying “At least they are better than Obama” we are all doomed.
I held my nose & voted Bush twice because that was all we had..he instituted many progressive policies & TARP. I held my nose & almost puked when I voted for McCain & now he runs his mouth about interrogation not being a good method on prisoners.
Here we go again. Obama should be easy to defeat with a true CONSERVATIVE yet we get whitewashed Bush era cronies all loved by Karl Rove.
It’s still early but it has got to get better than this.

This article is about Daniels, not McConnell. Mitch Daniels has never been a Senator.

Don’t be too hard on him. It was probably the demand of his wife.

Wouldn’t that be terrific!

Looks like Mitch Daniels is toast, ditto for Mitt & Newt.
As the field thins out, I’m looking for Sarah to take the stage.

That being said, I will vote for any GOP nominee against the Marxist Commie who now occupies that office.

NOBAMA 2012

Well Mitch has already said he wants social issues on back burner, so fits perfectly! SARCASM HEAVY...

Condey Rice was asked a few years ago what her position was on abortion, she said AND I HEARD WITH MY OWN EARS “I am mildly pro choice” whatever that means

Hey why not, Sen Mary Landreau says she is pro life and pro choice...What a joke.

SARAH PALIN or bust!

Putting Palin anywhere but on top of the ticket is simply offensive, sorry, but it is!

Palin/Cain ok

She is not pro life! Calls herself “mildly pro choice” Daniels wants social issues on the back burner, he is trying to walk that back, but I suspect those are his real feelings! Who would he appoint to the Supreme Court...Forget about it

HORRID, APPEASER CHOICE.

She is every bit culpable for the extremely dangerous situation in bold, empowered North Korea today with nuke plants operating with inpunity and Taepodong ICBMs, as is Clinton before her and Obama after her. Reprehensible track record. Her and her water boy, Ambassador Chris Hill. Would as soon vote third party than vote for ANY ticket containing her.

I’d probably vote for Daffy Duck over Obama.

the “slightly pro-choice” Condi, as she put it. I didn’t want Daniels anyway, but now I like him even less.
