DANIELS/CHENEY: DC08
Don't count out Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels as a presidential contender in 2008. Former director of the OMB, former advisor to Reagan, former chief of staff to Sen. Lugar (R-IN), former corporate executive (Eli Lilly), straight talker, problem solver, action taker, from a down-home, industrial, traditionally Republican state.
He calls The Godfather "the best business textbook I ever read" and you can see its influence in his direct approach to thorny problems.
His Inaugural Remarks (1/10/05) and State of the State Address (1/18/05) are candid, blunt, sober, action-oriented, and refreshing. This guy has definite red state appeal.

E, I like how you have Cheney as the permanent VP.
Steve, What did Mitch do that you don't like?
