Mitch Daniels was seen as a potential rival to President Obama, until he decided to run last year. After his rebuttal to Obama's State of the Union Tuesday, some GOP elites are openly yearning for a candidate Mitch Daniels.
Once upon a time, which was a key strategy of the Republican Party to win back the White House by President Obama? The two-term governor of Indiana, decided early last year not to seek the party's nomination, but the illusion has only deepened after Mr. Daniels concise and reasoned refutation of the Republican Party on Tuesday night Obama State the Union.
"I could hear the sighs in the country of Republicans [on] what might have been," conservative columnist Charles Krauthammer told Fox News on Tuesday. "That was one of the best speeches I've heard ... and I think that was one of the best presentations of the conservative idea from the Obama bigger."
What do you know about the state of the Union speeches? A contest.
Such praise has not been heaped upon the two main candidates in the Republican presidential race: former House Speaker Newt Gingrich and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney.
The first three contests of the Republican Party have not produced a definite winner, and Republican leaders in the selection of Daniels to deliver the replica of Tuesday's game, you can travel back to someone they perceive to be able to "close the gap "between right-wing faction of his party and establishing more doctrinaire, said Bruce Buchanan, professor of presidential politics and public policy at the University of Texas at Austin.
Daniels "clearly affects people as an adult ... [and] the fact [that the Republican Party] invited Daniels and he accepted most likely indicates some hope of attracting him," says Mr. Buchanan.
Romney, who has a moderate record as governor whose Mormon faith is of concern to conservative evangelical Christians, and Mr. Gingrich, who resigned as president and whose marital infidelities are no secret, is seen in some sectors as bad. Compared to them, Daniels is largely free of controversy, and has a history of working with both parties and making pragmatic positions on fiscal issues and social issues. It is also "more comfortable in his own skin" and "pretty unflappable," which makes it less prone to gaffes Romney or Gingrich, Buchanan says.
Daniels also spent time in Washington, as director of the White House Office of Management and Budget in the administration of George W. Bush.
The Nationalist Republican Alliance courted Daniels for the race in 2012, but withdrew last spring. His wife, Cheri Daniels says he vetoed the idea, citing privacy concerns. Mrs. Daniels and her husband divorced in 1993 and four years later he remarried. In the meantime, he married and divorced another man in California and was later criticized for not sharing the responsibility of raising four daughters with Daniels, a charge the governor said publicly was false.8
Today, personal problems just seem a disadvantage, especially in comparison with the civil registry Gingrich says Larry Sabato, director of the Center for Politics at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville. The national holiday is re-Daniels says, because the leaders of suspicion or Gingrich or Romney can beat Obama.
"They're in trouble. They do not want Gingrich and who do not like Romney. Pushed Daniels to begin with. I do not know if anything has changed," says Sabato.
At this point in the primary season, Daniels would have to be developed as a candidate, a process that involves the favorite, either Romney or Gingrich, stepping down. That is an unlikely scenario.
Another potential obstacle is that Daniels, like Romney, will face charges that backtracks on issues such as previous statements he made about his disinterest in the search for a so-called "right to work" law of Indiana. He now supports legislation designed to give workers the right to opt out of paying union dues - a move widely expected to undermine the powers of association. It cleared the Indiana House on Wednesday night.
Although Daniels is often described as a moderate to say fiscal policy triumphs of social policy, their positions are "right in the mainstream of the Conservative party," says Marjorie Hershey, a political scientist at Indiana University in Bloomington.
Ms. Hershey doubt Daniels will change your mind about running for president. He refers to his wife about the privacy of the family are as relevant today as they were last year, she says.
"A cabinet position could be an option for him or perhaps an embassy. ... However, I suspect it may be more at home on a board and you do with all this," says Hershey.
Any discussion on the future of Daniels in the presidential race this year is "hypothetical," although "that will play a role in the conversation," says Pete Seat, communications director for the Indiana Republican Party.
"The only reason people are seeking his guidance and vision is due to the results we've had in this state. We have the policies that the candidates are talking about and actually put into use," says Mr. the seat.
One of the reasons Daniels appeals to the Republicans is an intangible: It seems more authentic to voters than does the competition, according Seat. Daniels writes his own speeches, contest on Tuesday night, and we know how close to the people of Indiana, which engages in email conversations with constituents and, when traveling, accept invitations to spend the night at home.
"He stays in the homes of residents of Indiana when he travels all the way’s Sleeping in the nursery with stuffed animals in bed and Superman wallpaper," says the seat. "This is how you kept in contact with [his constituents]. He listens to people. "
