I don't like him either. He seems smarmy. Too smooth to be selling you a used car but maybe he could be touting some stock for you to buy.
Not that long ago, Pence (along with DeMint) was a TEA Party darling... Always felt he had good thinking, but not enough backbone... And his sojourn as governor has proved that to be true.
He's right on the low-water mark of what I consider to be viable... I wish he'd stand for what he stands for.
But I'd probably vote for him, unlike a Bush or a Grahamnesty.
