Yeah and according to Levin, many of the former Bush staffers are lining up behind this guy.

I wonder if all the talk of his heart not being in it will hurt him?

I think the Indiana SC decision nullifying the Fourth will hurt him more, since the judge was his pick. Plus, he called the truce on social issues (even though [many] socons love killing everyone BUT fetuses).

I hope this is true, the more libertarian-leaning candidates running, the better.

I think he is just Bush Jr ... campaigns on some what Libertarian ideas, but will just be a puppet once in office.

I'm not sure this philosophy is correct... he seems like an establishment candidate who could divert moderates and other potential Paulites away.

Daniels is the false "anti-Romney" and "real conservative" choice.

Dog and pony baby...

I call him a drug dealer on the neocon forums.

I've found that this INFURIATES them, which was my goal.

His record as governor says otherwise.

He's using the same platform Rand used to get elected senator; a strong focus on the national debt.

His CPAC speech (http://cspan.org/Events/Top-Republicans-Headline-Todays-CPAC/10737419537-2/) is worth listening to if you're not familiar with it.

Me too. People who like Ron somewhat like him. I don't know that much about him, myself.

No, the opposite because it takes votes Ron might get.

This guy is going to be a thorn in our side, as will Romney and Bachmann
