Governor Mitch Daniels...

...of Indiana, a possible candidate for the 2012 Republican nomination, got into trouble with the Religious Right recently when he told the Weekly Standard:

...the next president, whoever he is, “would have to call a truce on the so-called social issues. We’re going to just have to agree to get along for a little while.”

Ouch.

Daniels has since had a change of heart:

As Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels mulls a presidential run in 2012, he announced plans to sign a bill making Indiana the first state to pull federal funding from Planned Parenthood, a move that could boost his standing among social conservatives.

Richard Land, president of the Southern Baptist Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission, wrote an op-ed in the Wall Street Journal in March expressing social conservatives' anger with Daniels for his "truce" statement, but Land now says the decision to defund Planned Parenthood shows the Indiana governor's commitment to social issues.

"I'm very pleased. It shows that while he's doing everything he can to improve Indiana's fiscal situation, there's no need to call a 'truce' on social issues," Land told ABC News. "He's clearly demonstrated the ability to walk and chew gum at the same time."

Or, as Nancy Keenan of Pro-Choice America put it, “He called a truce on social issues, and he was the first to fold.”
