Mathew Yglesias said some time ago that Mike Pence was the dumbest guy in Congressā€¦ he is now apologizingā€¦

He says that all congress critter are just as dumbā€¦ I have the feeling that Matt is right on both assesments.

@humpback

The Purdue University president this morning told the Journal & Courier via email that he had no plans to run for an office he held for eight years if Gov. Mike Pence is asked to join Republican presidential nominee Donald Trumpā€™s ticket at vice president.

And will make no mention of it on his show as he proceeds to drone on about how totally awesome Pence is.

No, I was rooting for Gingrich, though I didnā€™t see it as very likely. A Trump/Gingrich ticket would be a godsend to both Democrats and comedians.

Daniels stands to make a combined $1 million in retention bonuses if he stays at Purdue through then, according to that contract

Side-note

At age 66, and after a lifetime of high-pressure jobs, Daniels is clearly enjoying himself at Purdue. ā€œI get to hang out with young people and smart people,ā€ he said.

Heā€™s not going to go to Cleveland eitherā€¦

That is OK, he will be pissed off anyway,

As @inversion mentions a little farther down thread, Pence was no sure thing to be re-elected anyway. He was having a rematch with someone he beat by less than 4 points the last time. The Republicans may or may not be better off with someone else, but they need to decide PDQ. Indiana law requires a replacement for him to be named by July 15th or the Republicans are stuck with a dead ballot slot.
