Mitch also has the charisma of a used kitchen sponge

Not so. "Mitch TV" was fairly popular.

Mitch has a "gravitas charisma" which would be quite attractive for those sick of frivolous candidates.

And when he speak seriously about the debt, he is riveting.

(She’s also the only running mate he wouldn’t look freakishly short standing next to.)

You might want to try thinking at a slightly deeper level.

I am also suggesting that there are no “saviors” out there now. Truly, if you want to be POTUS some day, keep your nose clean, learn all you can about this world, and value Life, Liberty & Pursuit of Happiness! The Evil ones will be gunning for you, so you have to plan early and surround yourself with like-minded people.

I didn’t name Tebow because I wanted to see where others would take it.

You like him, fine, I don’t, not for El Presidente. Even Obama can’t prevent what’s in your mind, not yet, anyway.

As for what happened to the budget during the Bush administration....

Such as, perhaps.... two wars? Those don't come cheap. In any case, Daniels was out of his OMB slot in June '03, only 3 months after the Iraq war started ... he really can't take credit or blame for what happened after he left.

That was one of the best speeches I heard since Ronald Reagan.

Damned right it was: intelligent, on-target, and engagingly delivered.

Well I’ll be damned. We agree.

The reason that the Obama administration is so worried about Daniels is because the first thing that he did after taking office was to de-certify ALL government unions.

Daniels made budget recommendations. They were not followed. If he would become the nominee, he’ll have plenty to opportunity to lay that out.

Daniels was one of the biggest supporters of the out-of-control spending during the Bush administration. He blamed the Tea Party for the loss of the Senate. He is actually identified as “The Compromise Candidate” in a recent RedState article.

He’s suggested we could support a VAT tax and a tax on foreign oil as well as a goal of 25% alternative energy use. He has run legislation against illegal immigration in IN into the ditch.

And that’s just off the top of my head.
