Indiana Governor Mitch Daniels is expected to announce his decision regarding the 2012 Republican presidential nomination in the coming weeks.

Allen County Republican Party Chairman Steve Shine says, “The Indiana Legislature will be adjourning at the end of this month and that is the Governor’s timetable to make his decision on whether or not to run for President.”

The Republican county chairman also noted that he expects Mr. Daniels will enter the 2012 Republican presidential race.

Waiting for construction of a short podium or a box to stand on. Which ever.

I like him he is a fiscal conservative. I just found that immigration article on him and it sounds like he is backing off on immigration laws of Az. for votes but that article was from the huffy post; so who knows?

He is going to balance the budget (on a one year basis) by converting the interstate highways to toll roads and then selling that to a foreign company.

So what are folk’s thoughts on this guy?

Better than anyone who ran last time, Duncan Hunter aside.

He's not afraid to take stands that piss people off, which is good. He thinks conservatives are people, which is good. Unfortunately, that means he's not afraid to piss conservatives off.

Kind of a GWB type who wants to balance the budget.

Interesting how we use the libs and dems very tactics amongst ourselves against candidates we don’t like. That Alinsky playbook made it into some conservative libraries apparently.

He's not perfect, but he's got the right priorities and a personal demeanor that in the current political environment will probably win him fans.

He's also somebody who can plausibly run on a fiscal responsibility platform, and can attract the political middle.

Not exciting, but very likeable. Is willing to say hard things and can back them up.

To get a sense of him, I'd recommend the following two videos (90 minutes of viewing, total):

Daniels at CPAC, and Daniels Q&A on CSPAN.

A good running mate for Trump.

Is this the guy who is supposedly running, knowing he won’t win, but seeking the name recognition to get a Fox News gig?
