Mitch Daniels made the clocks run on time. Why are Hoosiers booing him?
(Page 2 of 2)
Should Daniels lose in November, the last four years in Indiana will be a stark warning to forward-looking Republicans: delivering on your promises can cost you your job.
But Daniels can take some comfort in this: almost a century ago, Indiana had an equally effective and ambitious governor: Paul V. McNutt. McNutt's time in office saw similar sweeping changes, and the polarization of much of state in the process. He is now remembered as one of Indiana's most successful governors.
Despite all the recent trauma and upheaval, who is to say that Daniels will not follow suit?
