Daniels worked for Lugar at one time. He also did a 2-year stint as Director of Office and Management in Dubya Bush's administration. I met him once back when we were both Young Republicans working on the Bill Ruckelshaus campaign (running against Birch Bayh for Senator) and years later when he worked for the Hudson Institute. He's very smart, down-to-earth, nice guy, and all that, but he has some major areas that need work. For one, he doesn't seem to be all that concerned with important social issues like abortion; for another, I'm wary of his possible connections to CFR/NWO types.
BTW, Richard Lugar actually used to be a good man. He was a decent Mayor. Too many years in DC have caused him to contract Senate Sellout Disease. He definitely needs to be put out to pasture now, so I hope Indiana can find a good candidate to run against him in 2012.
Daniels is already on record, recommending that the Republican Party should not run on social issues in 2012.
So, if he is indeed running, he started out by infuriating half his base. Not very smart, politically.
“BTW, Richard Lugar actually used to be a good man.”
You mean like Anakin Skywalker?
And Krauthammer is also impressed with Obama's performance because he "won" on the issue of Don't Ask, Don't Tell.
Krauthammer cares little for the conservative view on social issues. They only matter to the "common people".
