"Mitch Daniels at 5’ 2” would be the short president is US history."

I knew he was short, but I didn't know he was that short. That's almost "go to college for free" short.

I hate to be the "superficial" guy, but we have a very superficial electorate. His height is a big disadvantage.

Hey, my dad was 5’2”. He was also a professional engineer, graduate of Carnegie Tech, a Lieutenant Colonel in WWII, a marksman and sharpshooter, and an elder in the Presbyterian Church. Daniels in way smart. I heard his speech at a recent CPAC meeting. It was the best I’ve heard any politician, Republican or Democrat, give in many years. The guy is a unique politician.

Short, bald, boring, cedes the PR battle to the left and is very inconsistent.

Your kind of candidate.

Yes, but in a pinch he would make a great golf T.
