Gov Mitch Daniels of Indiana hasa big negative

[ginscpy]

to run for president.

His height. 5'7" and that may be generous.

Would look bad against 6'1" Obama in debates.

Only one president since Truman has been under 6 feet and that was Carter at 5'8".

Americans like tall presidents.

Doubt it would matter unless they are playing basketball.

George Washington was 6'3" and Abe Lincoln was 6'4".

The right person at that height could win IF they had a personality and charisma that would excite the voters. The man in question, while seemingly competent, is unfortunately lackluster. Marco Rubio looks fairly short ( I will check it out ) but I think he could excite an audience of many thousands...

So.. by your reasoning, we'll never have a Gal President...

Dang .. I wish John Thune wouldn't have bowed out already...couldn't afford it..$

I don't think he had enough name recognition or personality, either. Nice eyes, though..

A woman president in high heels can level the playing field

I could deal with a 5'7" Sarah Palin in heels........................

Lack of height was one of McCains negatives.

 

[NYcarbineer]

Mitch Daniels' disastrous tenure as Bush's budget director might be a negative too.

 

[Political Junky]

Daniels is short, bald and has obviously had his face done. Will Americans accept that?

 

[Lumpy 1]

Lets see.. rotten economy.. national debt out of control, Obamacare fiascoes, complete failure on foreign policy, ridiculous unemployment figures, pathetic leadership and so much more..

Even a Democrat wouldn't vote for Obama...

Also -nobody knows who he is .

Wouldnt know Daniels if I walked past him on the street.

Never heard of him until a few moths ago............................................

FDR was about 4 ft 2 in his wheelchair. How did that look in debates?

They didnt have presidential debates back then.

First one was in 1960 Kennedy vs Nixon

 

[Claudette]

I like Daniels and he's done a great job in Indiana.

I don't give a shit how tall he is or that he doesn't look like a movie star.

I think he's someone that could get the job done in DC.

If he ran and was nominated he'd get my vote.

His resemblance to ESPN's John Clayton and the Purdue chicken guy prolly don't help much either.
