“He represented a “district”, not a State.”
You seem to think that the ‘State’ is vastly different than the ‘district’.
Sure, there are a lot of differences, but population is not one of them. He represents nearly as many people as live in Alaska.
it would be unusual for 2 candidates from the same state to jump in. Indiana contributors and party establishment would be unwilling to support 2 campaigns.
So if Gov Daniels is a go, then I don’t think Pence will run. But somehow I think he will get a better response than Pawlenty in IA and NH. Is there any indication that T-Paw has been creating any kind of following in the early states? Seems like he’s caught on like a lead balloon.
