And they couldn't even bring themselves to mention that Ron will be speaking at CPAC.

He will go no where, no name recognition.

Dont count on that. The will say he is a great conservative and show his votes..which he is except and the big except is the war and civil liberties but the right has not been too concerned with those areas. I am hoping he will try and run for Gov here and stay out of the president race. He even is a pretty nice looking guy so the shallow voters can vote too

No he is not but many many people on the right think he is so that is the problem

Most of the Tea Party is so dumb, I could see them falling hook line and sinker for this guy.

He isn't a libertarian. Unfortunately today being pro Patriot Act and pro interventionist foreign policy is considered to be the "conservative" position. That's why I call myself a "traditional" conservative.

Media has been pushing Pence for a while. Last time I checked on google trends, it wasn't doing much, though. The establishment likes him, but I don't know of any support in the grass roots, anywhere, does anyone here?

In Indiana, he is very popular with Tea Partiers, I would say he is revered among them. Pence has just enough "constitution sounding" phrases to fool the average Tea Partier. He could certainly duplicate that in other states if he campaigned.

But I've been reading that he will run for governor, which is fine. I even think he will be a good fiscal presence in Indiana. He might even push for states rights, who knows? I will be happy if he doesnt run because their wont be a establishment/grass roots candidate, there will only be the establishment vs. Ron Paul.

I think any candidate like Pence who is establishment but strikes just the right chords with the Tea Party can win the Republican nomination this time around. The Tea Parties are too neocon still, and they are not sufficiently fiscally conservative....they would fall for a hack like Pence.
