If you don't know who Mitch Daniel's is, he is the Republican first term governor of Indiana. He was elected in 2004 replacing Democrat Joe Kernan. Before he was governor Daniel's worked in the Bush Administration. Since he worked for Bush he is hated by the far left almost as much as they hate the President. Thankfully left-wingers are very few in number in Indiana.
As governor he has done a remarkably good job in spite of the Democrats in the statehouse. Indiana is no longer in the red financially, in fact it has a surplus, the only midwestern state to do so. He has managed to outsource some of the states business, saving money in the process. Daniel's has funded road construction projects for many years to come with the money from the lease of the Indiana Toll Road. Indiana now is the only midwestern state with fully funded road projects, no other state nearby has done so.
Indiana is most likely the only midwestern state that isn't in a recession. The business climate has improved, and the corrupt unions "representing" state employees has been stopped finally. Hopefully he can privately the states airports as well as get the Illiana Expressway built. The tasks that remain are the finishing of property tax reform and the making permeant the tax caps.
Mitch Daniel's should have a second term. It should be easy for him to be reelected, but the current political climate has taken that away. The Democrat candidate Jill Long Thompson would turn back the clock in Indiana returning us to red ink and other bad things. The Democrats have been mismanaging most other Midwestern states, Indiana should not return to that state!
Indiana should reelect "My Man" Mitch Daniel's, Governor of Indiana!
