He needs to learn to punch back twice as hard.  Except it's too late, now.  Bauer wins this round (unless Daniels has something up his sleeve I'm not aware of, but I don't credit him with that much savvy).

While I disagree with our farmer friend up north regarding Daniels' policies (except for DST, which was asinine), I have never set my hopes on him actually running for president.  He has always had what I refer to as Fred Thompson Syndrome.  He needed to make up his mind two or three years ago and then get to it if he was serious about a promotion upward.

I dunno.  I don't see Mitch in the Senate.  He's too much of an executive type to want to be one voice out of a hundred.

Besides which, all it would take to oust Lugar would be a pair of cojones and the will to use them.  Apparently Richard Mourdock fills that bill.
