Asked three weeks ago if he would like to run for president, Mitch Daniels replied, "What sane person would like to?" His decision against running, following Haley Barbour's and Mike Huckabee's decisions, illuminates a political asymmetry: Liberals think government, and hence politics, should be life?s epicenter; conservatives do not.
Days before Daniels decided not to sacrifice his family?s happiness for politics, he was asked about possible running mates. He said he would like to pick Condoleezza Rice, who happens to favor abortion rights. This quickened fears that he is indifferent to social issues important to the Republican nominating electorate, and that he might restore Bush administration persons and policies. A Daniels candidacy would have been difficult.
