Just that would give me pause.
Even the lady from the Washington Post who wants him as the nominee says he's like a gray accountant. I'm sorry, he's short, bald and boring, and unfortunately that's death in a culture that has HD TV. You can claim that's not important, but then you're not dealing with reality. If I want someone who I don't trust as a conservative (and Mitch is untrustworthy) I'll vote for Pawlenty or Gingrich.
I'll vote for Daniels if he wins, but I'll not do so enthusiastically knowing he won't stick up for the things I value. I want a bold candidate who will continue to explain why conservatism and what it stands for is a good thing. I want someone who is going to put forth conservative principles and defend them. I want someone who will convince moderates why they should believe conservative principles, not someone who won't stand up for them. I want someone who shows the bright colors, not the palest of pastels. It's the one who can stand up to the media, rather than one who will bow to media memes that I want.
Mitch doesn't and will never proclaim the bright colored differences conservatives value, and he'll never get beyond being short, bald, boring, inconsistent and uninspiring.
Sorry, them's the facts. He may be a great governor and a great manager, but with the aforementioned facts he can never be elected president in this day and age.
No, that's just your opinion. And it looks to be an emotional opinion, at that.
