2012 Election

Family Reasons

May 22, 2011Burt Likko 1 Comment

Indiana Governor Mitch Daniels, in some ways, might be the best candidate the Republicans have to challenge Barack Obama in 2012. Well, potentially, anyway, citing “family reasons,” Daniels has decided not to challenge Obama. The conventional wisdom is that when… Continue Reading →

Using Gays As Whipping Boys To Muster Votes

February 8, 2011Burt Likko

From The Department Of Wait… What?

January 8, 2011Burt Likko

Rudy! Giuliani is going to run for President again? Recall that in 2005, Giuliani began preparations after a “Draft Rudy” movement formed (and of course he had a hand in that, let’s not be sly about that). He declared in… Continue Reading →

The Oral Argument

December 7, 2010Burt Likko 1 Comment

October 26, 2010Burt Likko 5 Comments

It Is Happening Again

July 13, 2010Burt Likko 5 Comments

Calling For A Truce

June 16, 2010Burt Likko 1 Comment

Mitch Daniels is the Governor of Indiana. He is a dark-horse possibility for the Republican nomination for President in 2012, although I’m not entirely sure of how much traction that would get. But he has raised his profile significantly by… Continue Reading →
