I like Mitch Daniels. He has been a good governor. Compare his state to mine and you’ll see what I mean. He’s zero on the charisma scale, but he would be a competent president. He would never have a way of getting to the White House, since he’s not up to the show-business event that presidential campaigns have become. My ideal candidate used to be George C. Scott. He could electrify the air with charisma, and man could he perform!
Did you ever see him play Ebeneezer Scrooge in the TV movie of Dicken’s “A Christmas Carol” done back in 1984? For my money, it’s the best version ever filmed.

Actually, Daniels gets some charisma going when he wants/needs to.
I saw a speech he gave at CPAC last year and he was excellent.
