Mitch for President?

By Abdul Hakim-Shabazz

Maybe.  From the Washington Post…

Daniels said Sunday that he is not taking any preliminary steps, and instead would spend the next year focused on the problems of his state.

“I’ve got my hands full, trying to keep things glued together and take care of people who are sideswiped here, do the most essential things in state government, keep ourselves fiscally above water,” Daniels said. “Two, I’ve got some major goals [and] there’s a real chance of achieving in this job.” He said he would need “a friendly legislature” to accomplish his goals, and said that seemed possible given the more favorable climate for Republicans in this year’s elections.

“From now to a year-plus from now, that’s all I’m going to do,” he said. “And if these people are still around, and still not fully satisfied with the field, and if I don’t see anybody who’s raising what I think of as the survival issues for the country, I guess I’d listen, if it’s not too late, which it might well be. I’ve told people if it’s too late, so be it.”

To put this in perspective, Daniels running for President is about as plausible as when someone suggested Obama run for President back in 2004.
