Indiana Governor Mitch Daniels is expected to announce his decision regarding the 2012 Republican presidential nomination in the coming weeks.

Allen County Republican Party Chairman Steve Shine says, “The Indiana Legislature will be adjourning at the end of this month and that is the Governor’s timetable to make his decision on whether or not to run for President.”

The Republican county chairman also noted that he expects Mr. Daniels will enter the 2012 Republican presidential race.

Mitch and TPaw. Two guys who cannot read polls. Thanks but no thanks.

If you want:

1. Continued open borders
2. Ongoing defit spending
3. Mexican trucks steenking up the highways and taking american drivers jobs.
4. Zero tax reform
5. OPEC and China pushing us around and rippng us off.
6. No drilling in Anwar
7. Troops languishing in Iraq and Afghanistan indefinitely.

Mitch and TPaw will make that happen for you. Just like Mitt and Huck.

Will he do it from the Illinois hotel where he allowed the dems to hide out in for six weeks?

Well, to be fair, he couldn’t exactly send the ISP into Illinois to haul their sorry asses back to Indy.

Another clown joins the circus.

Donald Trump makes Mitch Daniels look like Plato by comparison.

What makes you think she is going to give us the "go" signal?

I could very easily see a scenario where the last few GOP primaries come down to Palin and Daniels. I may look back on that prediction 12 months from now and feel stupid, but it’s a scenario I can see. The reason? Much of what’s negative about her prospects is positive about his and vice versa.

Kind of a GWB type who wants to balance the budget.

So, where is Jeb? The Republicans may want "the real Bush" again. They never learn.

WOW! The excitement of the masses will be hard to contain. Mr. Peepers (T-paw) and Daniels (Soupy Sales on downers) are both creating a firestorm of GOP enthusiasm.

He’s not my ideal candidate, but I think he is the definition of “electable”.

He comes across as a competent, intelligent grown-up, which I think many Americans will be looking for in 2012.

What did Mitch have to do with that?

He’s Governor of Indiana, not Illinois.

The Indiana dems fled to Illinois for six weeks to prevent voting on an anti-union bill and Mitch came out saying he understood theior position and came across as weak in the face of union rage.

It wasn’t just Wisconsin dems that fled.

Something like that. GWB - tax cuts + spending cuts.

To be honest, I don't think Palin will make it past the Howard Dean point.

At the moment, Trump is eating up her base. Whether or not he can keep them depends on a number of things, but I think the longer he stays engaged and she plays coy about her plans, I think the less people come back to her. Head-to-head, I think Trump eats her alive: he's as much a showman as she is, and he's a more compelling speaker who can formulate detailed arguments well (as Palin does not). But I don't think either of them gets out of the weeds when primary time rolls around, because their base is too small.

In a similar manner, I think Daniels probably eats up Romney's base, and on their points of direct comparison (including health care) I think Daniels probably comes out ahead. I think Daniels ends up getting the early support of the big-money and big-power GOP, much as GW Bush did in 2000.

I also think Daniels ends up drawing less partisan Republicans to the primaries -- those folks who are alarmed and dismayed by the prospect of a Palin or Trump nomination. "Tea Party" support ends up being offset by a more moderate set of primary voters.

Daniels has the current advantage of being the guy who's most aligned with the debate of the moment, which is the budget. I think that carries on for a while, but won't carry on into next year unless Obama makes it an issue.
