Report: Mitch Daniels Would Like to Run for Prez, Just Waiting on Wifes 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 hed 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.

Maybe she has the hand cuffs and whips?????
Yeh like why she left Mitch and ran off with another guy. Later I guess he took her back. Thats going to be a lovely scenario none of us want to hear played out on national TV.
Just forget it Mitch.
LOL, Newt doesn’t have to ask.
Does almost sound as if Daniels is getting his marital bad news out there early—whatever it is. (Though I could almost imagine the Mrs. straying from the little guy...)
Just in time for Mother’s Day.
I’ve supported Daniels for some time now. Go back and listen to the GPAC speech.
Ask your wife what she thinks of Daniels comment. This guy is very smart. He can sink Obama.
About Rush: Sounds like the Dems are afraid and would like us to think they are promoting Daniels.
This guy can do it! He’s tough, he’s logical, he’s got the credentials.
Wait and listen when he talks.
>>> or any other RINO the Republic-loser Party foists on us.>>>
Yeah, I hate being foisted on. Maybe one day we can have primaries and let the voters decide.
Oh, wait.......
He needs a note?
Even if it were true, a serious candidate should NEVER, EVER say this!
I have no interest in ever supporting a boring, centrist that his wife has the lock box on his privates.
a serious candidate should NEVER, EVER run without having the family on board.
In the end, that’s why Barbour bowed out. He decided it was too much for him and the family.
????
I find it embarrassing that he needs a woman to stand up for him.
Honestly, I was looking at him for his budget success, then he rolled over for the Unions. That did it for me, would not vote for him ever. Grey Eagle.
WoW!! Another dynamic Republican candidate!!
Do we have to go through the RINO bit again?
Sometimes a picture is just worth one or two words...
Cheers!
