  1. Romney was sure to lose Michigan and Arizona, but likely Santorum has peaked (again) and will not pull off another upset.
    And it is just too late to be trying for a do-over in the GOP Primaries.
    If Romney lost next week, I’d expect talk like to start in earnest…but I truly doubt Mitt is gonna get creamed next week.

    • … he’s only pulled off one upset. While his support did strengthen over time, flipping the front-runner status in polls, an upset would have to be a result contrary to the latest polling. I do think it is possible for him to repeat that particular non-upset phenomenon.

    • Mitch was W’s budget director and predicted the Iraq War would cost just 60 Billion. I thin he was off by just a few pennies.

      Jeb Bush would be their choice.

  2. the action is the next election, no incumbent, no VP who’s going to run, it’s going to be wide open.

  3. I’ve read about him before…

    Mitch Daniels: As a student in Princeton, the Indiana governor was arrested in a police sting that netted two size-12 shoeboxes worth of marijuana, along with LSD and drug paraphernalia. Daniels was cited for pot possession but got off with a $350 fine for “maintaining a common nuisance.” He told the Daily Princetonian in 1988 that because of the arrest “any goal I might have had for competing for public office were shot,” and later called the incident an “unfortunate confluence of my wild oats period and America’s libertine apogee” (far out!).
