Look at the diverse group that could support Mitch. Me. You. Alpo. 1911ly. I think even MrJ has said he liked Daniels. And that underscores a problem with our system. I don't believe Daniels would have made it through the primary. Having witnessed the primary, I'm pretty sure he is confident he made the right decision.
See, I think Daniels would rule the primary. Kasich's above-the-fray approach, Christie's focus on results (regardless whether good or bad), Huckabee's conservative-but-not-angry-about-it personality.
