Then step aside for those less stupid than yourself who do know, idiot.
His platform is basically "I don't know, and I don't care!"
That will make a super T-shirt.
Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.
Watch out for Daniels because the establishment is looking to him to save the Rockefeller wing Republicans if/when Myth Romney flames out.
Social issues are a matter of character and are most definitely not off the table.
Not to mention he’s bald and about 5 foot 5.
Goodbye!
Dead is an understatement.
They want to deflect and dilute the Tea Party movement just as much as the left does.
I think Romney is already done. He will have a big problem shaking that whole Romneycare thingy.
Why bother? Over half the SoCons vote Democrat anyway.
A nation’s greatness and soundness are directly tied to its goodness in the sight of God.
Daniels still denying a Congressional district in the state a special election?
These RINO's think that taxes and deficits are the only issues that compel voters to support them. NOT!
At least he wouldnt be nominating Harriet Meiers to the Supreme Court.
Exactly what conservative social issue is on the advance? Seems like people are just trying to sandbag the levies at the moment. Homosexual marriage is a CHANGE to 4000 years of history. Trying to hold onto what’s left isn’t exactly in your face aggression.
I think he would make a great budget director or some such in the Sarah Palin administration....
Daniels simply has never looked at the issue of abortion, except as something insoluable politically. Much as Steven Douglas could never get his head around the issue of slavery. Men like Douglas could never understand that the war came about because too many Americans were in love with evil or indifferent to it, until it came around and bit them in the butt.
I saw him on Fox News Sunday and FWIW, I wouldn’t take alipundit’s word for anything.
I don’t know enough about the governor to offer an informed opinion, but I’d sure like to hear what hoosiermama, Miss Marple and other residents of Indiana think about him.
Sounds to me like what he’s really saying is that we should accept the status quo, whatever it may be, on social issues until entitlements are back on the path to solvency.

Sounds like the past five decades, at least.

There will always be criticism of any decent candidate. It is FAR too soon to make a determination like your article tries to do.
No more RINOs and no more pretenders.
The underlying problem is that some "conservatives" don't want to lead people to virtue by persuasion and example (that's too much like work), and so they want the gummint to do it for them. This is no different, really, than a bum wanting the gummint to support him instead of getting off his butt and working for a living.

While the primary topic of this thread is interesting, what I found even more interesting came from one of the bloogers on HotAir who was discussing the subject of Mr. Daniels comments (Mary in LA on June 11, 2010).
“Mary in LA” asked: “What would the legal remedies be for the harms that might be done to a mother by her unborn baby, if they were done by a born person?”
She then goes into an analysis of a set of “harms” that she says an unborn person could do to it’s mother, were the mother FORCED to complete the pregnancy.
Among many disturbing things, one of them is the state of “Mary in LA’s” mind and reasoning, which ignores that the “unborn” did not create any of the conditions being discussed, yet she analyzes the “harms” as if the “unborn” would be guilty of them if any of them came to pass. Of course, she also ignores that yes, the mother had a “choice”, a choice not to conceive a child in the first place. But Mary is one of those who thinks that choice can simply be undone by killing the child in the womb.
You have to read her blog post; its amazing and disturbing.
