It's Christmas Eve, so let's treat ourselves to something conservative political junkies enjoy: handicapping the 2012 Republican field.
On the Fox News Special Report this evening, panelists Stephen Hayes and Charles Krauthammer both singled out Mitch Daniels as a man to watch. Hayes identifed the Indiana gov as perhaps the true Tea Party candidate—someone willing to speak the hard truths about the need for entitlement reform. The ever-interesting Krauthammer found Daniels' lack of charisma appealing--as an antidote to our overdose of hope-and-change.

They drove the bus over Sarah!!!
Krauthammer and Hayes see Mitch Daniels as man to watch for 2012. Ping to Today show list.
two strikes against him
Merry Christmas
Naw, he is my first pick too.
Hmmmm.....they seem to forgot that Sarah also has spoken on entitlement reform and they seem to forget that Daniels said that we might have to raise taxes not a TeaParty theme IIRC
As good a governor as he is, and I think he would make a fine president, the guy has absolutely no charisma. In this superficial world we have today, I doubt he could be elected.
They think they are running the show..
Misogynist: "My Christmas present for you-know-who,
and Obama whom I have supported since 2008,
is to ignore how well she did on the Harry Poll,
and instead focus on whoever is at a losing 2%"

Doesn’t matter, she’ll be like Deniro in Cape Fear, hanging onto the axels only to appear later and she’ll be driving the bus. Krauthammer has gone over to the RINO side.
Palin 2012.
Krauthammer is a non-person. His time has passed. His opinion no longer matters.
Krauthammer has turned into an effete snob of the worst kind. Odd that someone so intelligent could turn into such a jerk.
“the guy has absolutely no charisma. In this superficial world we have today, I doubt he could be elected.”
I hear you, but interestingly, Kraut specifically made the case that Daniels’ lack of charisma could be a plus after people bet and lost on Obama’s charisma in 2008.
I will crawl over broken glass to vote for Sarah!!!
He’s my govenor and I like him,but he doesn’t look presidential enough. Mike Pence is a better choice, he looks presidential and is conservative.
I figured that Daniels was Romney’s back up, replacement candidate in case Romney stumbles, it looks like I was right.
I don’t know anything about the guy except that he was picked and supported by Lugar.
that jackass Krauthammer lost any respect of his opinion I might ever have had long ago
