"Stranger Things have Happened"

Mitch Daniels for president in 2012? Ross Douthat of The New York Times thinks it possible. In today's paper, he writes: "For a Daniels candidacy to catch fire, what’s left of the Republican establishment, currently (if reluctantly) coalescing around Mitt Romney, would have to decide that he’s the better pick. That would mean gambling that the best way to defeat the most charismatic president of modern times is to nominate a balding, wonky Midwesterner who reminds voters of their accountant."
