Geee Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 TownHall:Indiana Republican Gov. Mitch Daniels said Tuesday that it won't be long before he makes a decision on whether he'll run for president in 2012.Daniels said he doesn't have a timetable for announcing the decision once it's made, and that he's really only focused his attention on the issue since the legislative session ended in late April."It's only been a couple of weeks," Daniels said. "I'll decide pretty quickly."Political observers are watching Daniels' every move for signs of a possible decision. Some recently speculated on Twitter that he would run, which Daniels seemed to find surprising Tuesday."I don't Twitter so I wonder who made the decision," Daniels said. "It didn't start with me, obviously."Daniels also laughed at speculation that he would announce his plans at the Indianapolis 500 or sometime after the May 29 race."I don't have a fixed date," Daniels said before speaking at a meeting of Indiana state agency officials to review state government performance."I'm not going to take much longer with it," he added.Daniels said the fact that former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, another possible Republican presidential contender, raised more than $10 million in a single day Monday doesn't add to the pressure on him."I guarantee you that if we did it, I think we'd have the best letterhead and plenty of money," Daniels said. "I just don't think these things get settled by money. ... I think it's going to be a lot more about the quality of ideas." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pepper Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 Geee Present nominees make chances luke warm, adding Mitch won't raise odds much. Besides, playing coy is not a manly quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geee Posted May 18, 2011 Author Share Posted May 18, 2011 Pepper. There may be reasons he is hesitating. I came across an article on his personal life(it was about his wife) that I meant to post here yesterday but forgot. Now it is lost in the abyss. You know that the media jackals will be all over this 2 seconds after he announces, even though they have yet to drag up all the loose ends about the Emperor with no clothes. I am not sure who to be 'for' yet-I would like to have a nice selection of candidates to select from, but I guess it all comes down to ABBO!
