Mitch Daniels Not Running For President In 2012

Clearly the GOP is running on empty. Drip, drip… I can see a very dry well ahead. Daniels made his exit because politicall­y like Newt, there was /is much dirt around to create more than a mud pie. The same is true when I think Palin.

So much mud. It would be a field day for Democrats. With Huckabee, Haley Barbour, Newt (unofficia­lly) out, who’ s left? Let me think—Pe­rry of Texas, Paul Ryan (Wisconsin­), Huntsman, Hermain Cain and Chris Christie of New Jersey. Christie would lose his state, (already there are advertisem­ents against him). Perry what does he bring to the table, really? Nothing meaningful when I think issues which impacts beyond tea party members.

Oh, I forget there’s Mitt Romney former governor of Massachuse­tts and Tim Pawlenty– Minnesota. Possibly either could be benficiari­es given Republican­s cannot find a standard bearer who can pass the values test.

For some reason, I see a primary season for 2012 without any razzle-daz­zle. But should any of these become the ‘one’ against Obama, despite some of my disagreeme­nts with the present administra­tion, I would be ready to kick my shoe off and get to work. The ‘least’ objectiona­ble given what I see still remains in the blue column. Neither attracted by the ultra left/right –I’m ready for a dynamic, meaningful political contest.

Please, let the games begin!
