Waiting for Mitch


The word is Indiana Governor Mitch Daniels will make his decision on running for President by the end of May. While we are waiting here is an interesting article by Cheri Jacobus in The Hill.

A potential political rock star in the making, he is close to being known by a first name only, much like Cher, Madonna, Mitt or Newt....

My early take is that Mitch Daniels is the rare political candidate who looks better and better the more he comes into focus, rather than forcing us to reluctantly accept major flaws upon closer inspection. I think — I hope — I’ve got the prognosticator chops to make this call even before the hat gets tossed into the ring...

Mitch Daniels has a legislative record that sings to Republicans and independents.....


On the "issues" with Daniels wife who divorced him and left him with four young daughters and moved to Californian and married another man and then divorced him after three years and remarried Daniels, Jacobus writes:

However, once those personal life blanks are filled in, Mitch Daniels is romantic, strong, Father of the Year material, all rolled into one. While he doesn’t have the leading-man features of a Romney, Perry or Pawlenty, Daniels’s story more resembles a Lifetime Movie Channel offering than the life of a Midwestern politician.
