Thune 2016

[Grover]

Can South Dakota Sen. John Thune be the GOP's best hope for taking back the White House in 2016? He's handsome, conservative, part of the Senate Republican Leadership, defeated one of the country's most powerful leaders in Tom Daschle in 2004; yes, he doesn't have good name ID, but he could make an impact if he did run for president. Thoughts?

Thune needs to raise his name recognition if he runs for president. He could raise some money, he's part of the Senate Republican Leadership. He may be a formidable candidate.

He and his family will also hafta get some very, VERY thick skin, because one of the things for which the Clintons are most notorious is playing dirty in election season.

I expect the campaign ads come mid-2016 to be something akin to a virtual pit of adders.
