I'm glad Daniels in not running for POTUS.

[RandySF]

He's a conservative, but he's not batshit. He can reminds me of the Republicans I grew up around in Michigan.

[Bucky]

1. Agreed. I think he was given this speech in case the convention is deadlocked.

He's on the short list for 2016

[Bobbie Jo]

9. Short list is right..

Dude is about 5'5" shoes and all.

[Ninga]

2. I predict that there will be an attempt to draft him. We ain't done yet.

[woo me with science]

7. There already is.

Someone posted the website here within the past couple of days.

[Drunken Irishman]

3. Meh. He's boring...

Might not be batshit, but is about as inspiring as a piece of wood.

[Pisces]

4. Thats why he's not running. He would have to say batshit things to get the nomination. He is waiting

for 2016. Also he is very short and that would be bad visuals in the debates.

[Renew Deal]

5. He sounds crazy to me

He thinks the state of the union is "grave."

[elleng]

6. Many repugs thought that; his wife wouldn't let it happen.

[tallahasseedem]

13. She has a very complicated and embarrassing personal history...

I don't blame her for not wanting to go through all of that.

[elleng]

20. I wouldn't blame ANYONE for wanting to avoid all that!

[OhioChick]

8. He's a very boring speaker....

Blah...blah...blah...blah....

He lost me after the first two sentences.

[Broderick]

10. Yawn

[coalition_unwilling]

11. Yup. He and Huntsman would have presented the most

serious threats to Obama's re-election effort.

[Stinky The Clown]

12. Daniels/Pawlenty 2012

Not as fun as watching paint dry, though.

[RZM]

15. LOL +1 n/t

[ellie]

14. Daniels would lose spectacularly

He told private sector unions in Indiana that he would not go after them and guess what? He did. There is a Right to Work bill in the legislature right now that he supports. He called for a culture war truce in Indiana then went after Planned Parenthood. People can see right through his crap.

[Lifelong Protester]

16. Not Batshit?

Ask the people fighting the RTW bill in Indianapolis right now. He's as bad as Walker, an that is saying something.

[arely staircase]

17. you talking about the sleeping pill that gave the response? the guy with the stick up his ass?

that guy?

[DCBob]

18. hes too boring for the GOPer primary voters

They will never elect him as the nominee.

[bigtree]

19. I looked at the tv and thought it was an old commercial

what a bore.

[deacon]

21. Not batshit crazy? Well, that disqualifies him right there. n/t

[yellowcanine]

22. He is also hung up on light bulbs and that is a loser issue.

The market is leaving the Republican Light Bulb Luddites behind. It is as if they were trying to preserve gas lighting when Edison
was selling electric lights. It is that big of a revolution in lighting and the Republicans can't seem to see it.

[Motown_Johnny]

23. W's budget director

I think running against him would be even easier than Newt or Mitt
