Would you Support a "Draft Mitch Daniels" Campaign?

He was my #2, and would be miles ahead of our current pack of incompetents. Why not?

A good governor and would be a great candidate. I just don't think he'll jump in due to his personal baggage (or rather, his wife's).

I personally don't get it. He remarried his wife, after he had made some wealth. Is the idea is that  he was had and thus is weak-willed or something?

name one reason the jmfcsts would support Mr. Mitch "Let's-Surrender-The-Cultural-War" Daniels?!

You can't fight a culture war if the economy sucks.

since when is the absence of truth an ingredient to economic prosperity?  the mere fact that Daniels somehow doesn't think we can rebuild the economy while speaking truth proves he is not fit to lead.

When has any POTUS ever advocated openly lying to each other in order to improve the economy?!

How has he lied? He just called for putting social issues aside while dealing with the more pressing issue of the economy.

His wife left him, very quickly remarried, and then came back to him. The family is very private about this period. There'd likely be a lot of questions about it if he was to run.

I don't see the issue. And yet we're willing to give Gingrich a pass? Come on.

You know, I just "got" your signature.

In any case, I don't think Daniel's would need charisma. The election, with the right candidate, will be a referendum on Obama, as re-elections should be.

However I feel like Daniels wouldn't have done much better than Huntsman or Pawlenty- however things are different at this stage.

I thought you would.

I'm flattered. However, not everyone likes chicken. Everyone likes cookies, though.

I really hope he does well. Otherwise it's on to Jeb Bush, but alas, his name is Bush. Then we go to Christie, but he's too new, and too fat. Then what?
