I can actually see Romney beating Obama.  Can't really see Pawlenty doing so. :hmm:

Daniels is the only GOP candidate I could have considered voting for.

Yeah.  If a Republican candidate isn't willing to raise taxes, he's not worth voting for.

The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

Me neither, but Republican voters "surprised" me before.  I still don't get how a former Massachussets governor who enacted an Obamacare prototype got to be regarded as the conservative choice, as far back as in 2008 elections.

It all depends on how the economy is going.

Neither do I.  I thought he was the establishment choice.

A Mormon will never take the White House.  Especially a plastic one.

I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Raz is right. -MadImmortalMan March of 2017

I'm embarrassed. I've been making the mistake of associating with you. It won't happen again. :)

Ringing fucking endorsement there.  What, Erik Prince wasn't available?

I wonder if Daniels and Huckabee aren't the start of a trend of people with a real shot at the white house not running because of all the crap you go through (not that I think Huckabee had much of a chance). At a certain point, even people as narcissistic as politicians have to see that being president takes away any privacy for you and your family and you are guaranteed to be hated by about 40% of the population in the best case scenario.

Not everyone has the luxury of running on the Illinois state budget.
