Mike Pence isn't running for the Senate this year. The insinuation is that he's going to be running for the White House in 2012. If he is... I'm persuadable. He's one of the few truly respectable conservative voices in the House, and frankly, I've had enough of Senatorial presidential candidates. Somebody of substance from the House would be a refreshing change of pace.

The only concern I would have is that I'm not too up to speed on his socon quotient. Is he a creationist or does he have a habit of spouting off about gays or anything overly sketchy like that? It would be best if he wasn't carrying any wedge-issue dynamite...

On the other hand, people have already mooted Mitch Daniels out of Indiana, and two Indiana boys in the same running is going to dilute the support base a bit. It would be good if they didn't split the difference and let that ass Huckabee walk away with the prize.
