Much also depends on his final Republican opponent. A no-nonsense plain old, efficient executive with a Nike-like slogan -- Just Do It -- would be formidable, especially if he or she is attractively dull. Evidenced by this fall's campaign ineffectiveness of Obama and Biden compared to their 2008 performance, Americans seem pretty much charisma-ed out at the moment.

While I'm sure Gary Johnson would prefer a different phrase than "attractively dull," he fits that mold.

Sounds a lot like Mitch Daniels as well. At least, that's how Fox News portrayed him in their special.

I posted that if an Ike like candidate ran today, the left would shriek that he is 'extreme'.

Which is true.

George W. Bush budget director. I've seen Bush's budgets. Something's rotten in Denmark.

They'd say any conservative is "extreme."
