Is Mitch Daniels conservative enough for the GOP presidential primaries?
There is a good conservative case against Mitch Daniels's potential presidential candidacy. But this American Thinker piece isn't it.
[. . .]
The serious case against Daniels is that he was too eager upon taking office to raise income taxes on upper earners, that his paper-clip-counting ways take frugality to a counterproductive extreme, that his suggestion that we consider cutting defense spending (attacked superficially in the AT piece) is not well thought out or connected to a coherent strategic vision, and that his proposed “truce” on social issues is an unforced fumble that leaves the field open for the disingenuous "safe, legal, and rare” liberals.
"Paper-clip counting ways." Ouch.
