Mitch Daniels

David Brooks and many others are hoping that Mitch Daniels will change his mind and run for President in 2012.  Daniels gives consistently impressive interviews.  Of course candidate Obama talked a great game too but Daniels has been an enormously successful Governor of Indiana.  Watch this twelve minute interview from Meet the Press this week.

Give this link a few beats;  it will switch to the right interview.

Conservatism and the Republican Party are stuck with each other.  Therefore it’s important to hear from a credible conservative Republican governor in the midst of so many careless, delusional, egomaniacal, spotlight-chasing, pseudo candidates for the Presidency.

And while I’m on the subject, of all the capable women in the nation, why does conservatism – and womanhood – keep getting diminished by these screwy bimbos?  First Sarah Palin insists on keeping on keeping on, then we had Christine O'Donnell emerge from her coven in Delaware, the gaff machine Sharron Angle insisted on finding a way to lose to the political corpse, Harry Reid in Nevada and now we have the she-will-not-shut-up Congresswoman Michele Bachmann from Minnesota who thinks she should be President.  Bachmann seems a more likely candidate for compost making.

In case you’ve been wasting your time with news from say Japan and ignoring the likes of tea party favorite Michele Bachmann, this is what she told adoring Republicans in New Hampshire:

"You're the state where the shot was heard around the world at Lexington and Concord…"   Previously, she told a crowd in Iowa that the founders worked tirelessly "until slavery was no more in the United States."

While we may facetiously remark that people such as these are a good fit for the intellectual standard in Washington, there is nothing funny about them.  Who votes for these people?  Shame on us.
