I had the opportunity to spend about thirty minutes discussing issues with him in his office earlier this year, and I am not even a constituent. He ran three times for his seat before finally being elected. He has tenacity and perserverance that is truly inspiring. Look for him to play a large role in the upcoming session and I would not be surprised to see him as someone's Veep in '08. Regards. Pence is truly a “good guy”.

Hence most Conservatives simply do not know how to govern. Ideologues do not govern, they try to rule. Government requires concession and compromise, ruling merely requires force. Our system is set up so that attempts to rule ultimately fail, which is why so little has been really accomplished over the past four years, and why I strongly suspect so little will be accomplished over the next four years.
