Daniels Says He Would Have Money And Support If He Ran For President

Indiana Governor Mitch Daniels has spent months fueling speculation that he'll seek the Republican nomination for President in 2012. He made what may be his boldest statement this week in an interview with Politico. He told the D.C. news outlet that he would have the money and support to win the election, but his wife's concerns may keep him out of the race. “If I were to decide to do this, we would have an unbelievable letterhead,” Daniels predicted in a POLITICO interview Wednesday, lighting up as the hour-long conversation turned to why he could win. “I don’t know if we’d raise the most, but for whatever reason, there are an awful lot of people standing by who I think know how to do this a lot better than I do,” he said, noting that he’s being pushed to run by an array of business types and political figures.Daniels's path to run is clearer now than ever, since Indiana Congressman Mike Pence decided not to run.
