Report: Mitch Daniels ‘Would Like to Run’ for Prez, Just Waiting on Wife’s OK

Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels wants to run for president and is not in the process of convincing himself to do it, a close adviser said. The last hurdle remaining is ongoing discussions between him and his wife, Cheri Daniels, over whether she is ready to face questions about their past.

“I think he would like to do it,” the Daniels adviser told The Huffington Post by phone. “I actually think he’d have a decent chance of getting the nomination.”

The insight from a source close to the governor contradicts many of the reports that have focused on whether Daniels will run or not. Daniels has been portrayed — and has in some ways portrayed himself — as a reluctant potential candidate, someone who had hoped the GOP would find someone else to be their standard-bearer but is unimpressed with the candidates who have so far declared their intent to run.

The confirmation that the Daniels’ marriage is the last hurdle in front of a bid for the White House highlights the delicate situation in which the Governor finds himself.

To: tsowellfan; All
Primary or general, I will not vote for:

- Newty (Pelosi's couch squeeze)
- Romney (statist gun-grabbing Obama clone)
- Daniels (media picking our candidate again)
- Pawlenty (I don't believe his cap-and-trade repentance)
- Paul (niche candidate)

or any other RINO the Republic-loser Party foists on us.

I either check the box for a true conservative, or I write her name in.

At first I was mot going to post the article given that part of the source is “The Huffington Post”.

Then I remembered that Mitch Daniels prefers those kinds of readers to vote for him.

WHAT “delicate situation”?

If you aren’t able to run, just stand up and say so, Daniels!

It’s not really clear from the article whether there are serious problems in their past (previous marriages? divorces?) or whether she just likes to be the Boss.

What questions about their past? One of them cheated? They used to frequent swing parties? One of them is transgender? What?

Now I am not saying that she does not deserve to be involved in the decision... but publicly announcing that you have to get your wife’s permission to run is just UNPRESIDENTIAL.

That’s amazing. Where do these people come from? I mean really.

Mr. Daniels, if you have to get your wife’s permission, then we don’t need you.

If running for president is going to harm your marriage, then by all means don’t put it in jeopardy. Cherish your wife and your marriage. Don’t run.

Great, another caved-in wuss to challenge Obama's masculinity.

Cheers!

The little guy has ordered all of those built up shoes and his wife is holding him back. LOL, Poor little man, you can always carry a box around to stand on.
