Fort Wayne based news station WANE-TV recently came out with an article whose headline read Pence Says Conservatives Have Suggested He Consider Presidential Bid.

When asked about G.O.P. leadership asking him about making a Presidential run, Pence candidly replied, “We've certainly been approached by people who represent significant constituencies in the Republican Party. When you chair the House conservative caucus, there's a broad array of very credible, well-established conservative organizations that dot the landscape of Washington D.C. and the country. Some people in that community have talked to us about maybe being a part of national leadership someday."
Although Pence has been receiving increasing media attention (Pence recently graced the cover of Congressional Quarterly Magazine and was featured on the Rush Limbaugh letter) he remains to stay humble and focused on passing conservative legislation in the House. When pressed by the question of whether or not he would seek the 2008 Presidential nomination, Pence added with wit, “Probably one Hoosier running for president in 2008 is enough.”
This is classic Pence. His remarks are always filled with humor and intelligence, yet still sincere and genuine. That is the beauty of Mike Pence which is why the American public continues to respond well to his messages. Mike Pence is always amazing when it comes to handling the media. This past May at one of Indiana’s largest and most popular events, the Indy 500, Pence was interviewed live during the race. After the broadcaster asked Pence why so many people have been talking about him as a strong Presidential contender in 2008, Pence quickly responded by saying “Well, that is what happens when you get your mother a computer for Christmas.”
Pence has never ruled out anything although he is not actively pursuing or seeking a Presidential run. This gain in a national sentiment to make Pence the conservative frontrunner for the Presidential nomination in 2008 has come from the millions of grassroots activists and dedicated Americans who have deemed now as the perfect time to right our ship. It must be the American people who lift up Mike Pence. It must be our tireless efforts and endless commitment to our cherished values and principles that will motivate us to ensure Mike Pence’s nomination and election to our nation’s highest office.
In Pence’s stump speech titled “Another Time for Choosing” Pence boldly proclaims the lyrics of a Robert Frost poem:
“The woods are lovely dark and deep But I have promises to keep And miles to go before I sleep, And miles to go before I sleep.”
Ladies and Gentleman, Pence has vowed to go miles and miles to lead our conservative movement back to the promising American principles of limited government and traditional moral values. It is now our time to make that vow, to carry that lovely burden, and to take that moral stance. We must commit ourselves to dead reckon our ship that has strayed into the uncharted waters of Big Government Republicanism. We must call upon our Captain, whose divine grace and sovereignty has always guided us, as we call upon each other to take courageous measures that will ensure that the state of our nation and our future will always be bright with hope as freedom rings and faith prevails.
