Daniels' listening tour
Politico ^ | 5/4/2011 | Ben Smith

Posted on 05/04/2011 8:57:39 PM PDT by curth

The salons of Manhattan's Upper East Side are an odd place to launch a Republican campaign:

On Tuesday, at the Gilded Age Upper East Side mansion that houses the nascent Bloomberg View, Daniels lunched with a baker’s dozen of journo-pundits ranging politics-wise from rightish (Peggy Noonan, Ramesh Ponnuru) and leftish (Michael Kinsley, Josh Marshall) to neitherish (Mark Halperin), and outlet-wise from mass market (George Stephanopoulos) to niche market (me). Afterward, the informal consensus of the leftish contingent was summed up in this exchange:

“If we have to have a Republican…” “…this one seems like he’d be better than the others.”
