President 2012: Mitch Daniels Will NOT Announce This Weekend
Gov Mitch Daniels speaks at the Conservative Political Action Conference in Washington, February 11, 2011. Daniels is nearing a self-imposed deadline for declaring whether he will run for president as the Indiana Legislature wraps up a session that has given him big victories fiscal conservatives are likely to favor.
Indiana governor Mitch Daniels said Thursday that supporters will have to wait through the weekend for his decision regarding the 2012 Republican presidential campaign.
The Indiana Republican says he will wait until next month to announce his decision.
Mr. Daniels told The Indianapolis Star that “it absolutely won’t be (announced this weekend) because you can’t announce a decision you haven’t made.”
The Indiana governor said he remains focused on the current legislative session, where he may face a decision concerning a controversial abortion measure that is making its way through the legislature.
Mr. Daniels acknowledged concerns over the timeline, noting that he “feels some responsibility not to just keep [supporters] dangling.”
The abortion legislation will tip the scales, if Daniels vetoes the bill. But, I doubt he will and I bet he runs.
