This morning, John Boehner announced that Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels is giving the Republican weekly address, providing another boost to the darkhorse's national profile.
And from the looks of Boehner's statement, it seems Daniels will be following up on his much-discussed WSJ op-ed, in which he condemned the "imperialism" of cap-and-trade.
Boehner's statement:
“Gov. Daniels has emerged as one of our nation’s leading voices for reform and common sense in government. I’m very pleased he’ll be delivering the national GOP address as Congress prepares to vote on misguided legislation that imposes a new national tax on energy.The American people know there’s a better way to get to clean, affordable energy, and in Congress and in state capitals across the nation, reformers like Governor Daniels are advocating these better solutions."
