"I don't want to get Gov. Markell in trouble, but he's probably my favorite Democrat," said Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels, a Republican. "Unlike some in his party, he appreciates that government at its best promotes the flourishing of private life..."
Added Daniels: "I think Jack could be a really persuasive spokesman for us."He's a phenom, Mitch, especially if you don't mind the lies he eschews to further his own political career... And clearly, spewing untruths works as he's moving up the line for a great reward.
"Markell's direct pipeline to Vice President Joe Biden also is seen as an advantage for the NGA in negotiating with the White House on pertinent issues facing the state.
"That's why he's great for us, because he has such a great relationship with the vice president," said Washington Gov. Christine Gregoire, the outgoing chairwoman of the NGA.Christine, everyone in Delaware thinks they have a great relationship with the vice president. Even Delawareans who can't stand him still claim two degrees of separation in our small state.
Hey, NJ, I think you got another quote wrong. As a governor, he doesn't care about anything but his political aspirations, least of all campaign promises and transparency.
"When we're together, we don't really care -- I certainly don't care -- if an idea is a Republican idea or a Democratic idea," Markell said. "If there's an idea that's very creative and effective, I'd like to borrow from it."
