Thanks for the link to that article on Mitch Daniels. If he runs, he has my vote!
From the article:
The reforms began instantly. On his first day Daniels reversed an executive order signed by a Democratic predecessor granting collective bargaining rights to state employees. Union membership plummeted overnight. I think they were happy to have the extra thousand dollars that would have gone to dues
He is not as articulate as Governor Christie, but he is slashing and burning through state spending.
