  • Mitch Daniels Wants to Drop Bill That Forced Democrats to Flee – Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels (R) signaled that Republicans "should to drop the right-to-work bill that has brought the Indiana House to a standstill for two days and imperiled other measures," the Indianapolis Star reports.

    Daniels told reporters that "he expects House Democrats will return to work if the bill dies. It would be unfortunate if other bills are caught up in the turmoil, he said."

    He also said he will not send out state police to corral the Democrats who fled to prevent a quorum in the state House.

    Mitch Daniels had an opportunity here to lead and he voted expedience.

    Bye Bye Presidential race…..

  • Mitch Daniels: Indiana Republicans Should Drop the Right to Work Bill – Color me extremely disappointed with Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels right now:

    Gov. Mitch Daniels signaled this afternoon that Republicans should to drop the right-to-work bill that has brought the Indiana House to a standstill for two days and imperiled other measures.

    Daniels told reporters this afternoon that he expects House Democrats will return to work if the bill dies. It would be unfortunate if other bills are caught up in the turmoil, he said.

    He will not send out state police to corral the Democrats, the Republican governor said. The Democrat minority has right to express its views, he added.

    The governor clung to his view that this is not the year to tackle right to work.

    If the Indiana House Democrats get what they want through this tactic, what’s to prevent them from using it again and again every time they think they’ll lose on a big issue?

    I had been open-minded about Daniels’ “truce” talk — no matter how much a Republican presidential candidate talks about the importance of social issues, 75 to 90 percent of the president’s time from January 2013 to 2017 will be spent on economic and fiscal crises and managing a dangerous and rapidly changing world. But a concession to Democrats on major reforms like these will spur a lot of talk about Daniels’ toughness, or whether he’s too conciliatory to an opposition that has gone completely off the rails, or more accurately, out of the state….
