I could have done without the sports metaphor at the end -- it's early in the race, we have to pace ourselves, etc. But I like the sentiment it represents. We have to think big and act boldly. Whatever else is said about Daniels, it can't be denied that he embraces change and challenges Hoosiers to do the same. As lethargic and tied to past practices as this state has been, that's a good thing. We just have to make sure we're moving in the right direction and not just seeking change for change's sake.
