Politics
Newsweek has a very worthwhile article on Mitch Daniels. It contains a few partisan cheap shots and some reasonable doubts whether the public will ever be willing to accept the spending restraint we need, but it is mostly admiring. I especially like this:
His brand of reality-based conservatism might not propel him to the presidency in 2012. But eventually it could provide the GOP with something it desperately needs (and currently lacks): a convincing model of post-Reagan, post-Dubya, post-Obama governance.
"It contains a few partisan cheap shots ..."
That's a rather lavish understatement.
