Gov. Daniels on the Verge
From National Review:
Indiana governor Mitch Daniels met with a group of journalists assembled by Bloomberg View in New York City today. Here’s what I picked up from the meeting:
His conservatism is not combative. Daniels was pressed repeatedly about the role of the Bush tax cuts in building today’s federal debt, about the failure of his fellow Republicans to recognize the need for tax increases, about the nuttiness of his party’s birthers, and about its general “reality-denial problem.” Daniels politely disagreed on the Bush tax cuts, said that Republicans weren’t the only people with nutty ideas, and suggested that Obama’s budget was “disappointing” in its denial of reality. But there was no forceful pushback of the type one might have gotten from other conservatives.
He is passionate about cutting entitlement payouts to the affluent. “Why are we sending Warren Buffett a welfare check?” Universal programs have been defended as a means of building social solidarity. What Daniels sees, however, is “cynicism.” The theory that well-off voters won’t support programs to help the poor unless they get a cut themselves is “politically manipulative”: “People are led, still are led, to believe things that aren’t true.” He adds, “The assumption it makes about the American people”—that they are purely self-interested—“is very unfair.”
His foreign-policy details are TBD. Daniels said that “it cannot be illegitimate to ask” if some of the country’s military commitments should be unwound, but he has not yet reached any conclusions about which should be—or, at least, any he is willing to share. On Afghanistan he refuses to second-guess the decisions of the president, to whose greater access to information he defers. On Libya he says only that he has not seen the case for intervention made. One gets the impression of someone who is much more cautious about foreign intervention than Mitt Romney or Tim Pawlenty, but also cautious about saying so. He was asked if he were ready to debate President Obama on foreign policy. “Probably not.” (He is candid.)
His ambivalence about running seems real. “I encouraged four different people to run,” he says, and failed. (He wouldn’t name them but Haley Barbour appears to have been one of them.) At one point he used the words “if I talk myself into this” when discussing a run of his own. Why might he run? “I believe the country’s at a very perilous point arithmetically. And I haven’t yet—still hope to—seen anyone else step up to it. . . . So far my brethren have been a little hesitant.”
But he’s leaning toward running. That’s just the impression I got. If he does run, he says, there will be no exploratory committee, “nothing cute.” “We’ll just get on about it.”
Daniels Reviews Landmark 2011 Legislative Successes
From Governor Mitch Daniels:
Daniels reviews landmark 2011 legislative successes
INDIANAPOLIS (April 30, 2011) – The results are in and the most comprehensive education reforms in the country and a structurally balanced budget with an automatic taxpayer refund top a long list of legislative achievements for Governor Mitch Daniels during the 2011 Indiana Generally Assembly session that concluded Friday.
“This is an agenda for Indiana’s future. There have been other sessions where we’ve done huge things, but long term this may be the most meaningful set of changes of all, and I hope it will prove that way,” said Daniels.
The governor’s 2011 successes include a K-12 education agenda that puts students first, including dramatically expanding charter schools, providing parents with more school choice, revising teacher evaluations and expanding full-day kindergarten funding; a structurally balanced budget that met the governor’s parameters; broadened public-private partnerships; a solution to the imbalance in the state’s unemployment insurance trust fund, and confirmation of state employee collective bargaining practices into state law.

Would Presidential Candidate Mitch Daniels Resign as Governor?
This morning Indiana Governor Mitch Daniels told reporters that he would make an announcement as to whether he was running for President “within weeks.”
I wouldn’t be surprised if the announcement doesn’t come earlier than that – in particular, next Friday evening at the state Republican dinner. Cheri Daniels, the Governors’ wife, is speaking and is set to introduce to him. In fact, the news might be leaked before then so that the news hits the Friday newspaper rather than be confined to the worst read newspaper of the week – Saturday.
Further news is that the Governor wil sign the abortion/Planned Parenthood bill. The General Assembly gave Daniels a huge gift in sending that bill to his desk, the ability to with a stroke of the pen set aside much of the flack Daniels would have received from social conservatives on the primary campaign trail for his “truce” comment.
I went from thinking there was about a 10% chance Daniels will run back in January, to about 55% (maybe 60%) today. The Republican field has stayed very weak and there has been a much later start in the campaigns than has previously been the case. So much about politics is about timing and luck, and both seem to be playing into Daniels’ favor this year.
Finally, the one thing that doesn’t seem to get any press, but should, is the question whether Daniels would remain as Governor while running for President. I can’t see that happening. Running for President is a full-time job and it would not seem to be Daniels’ style to be an absentee Governor. Further Daniels has a chance to leave on a high note with most of his legislative agenda passing. I believe there is a excellent chance that a Governor Skillman will serve the remaining 1 1/2 years of Daniels’ term assuming the Governor runs for President.
Governor Mitch Daniels commits to defund Planned Parenthood
From HoosierAccess:
In a move that some have said will make Indiana the most prolife state in America, Governor Mitch Daniels has announced that he will sign HEA 1210, a bipartisan bill that will defund organizations that perform abortion.
Like the pensive Governor we all know him to be, when Gov. Daniels considered this bill he did the homework and demonstrated that his administration will ensure access to women’s health centers that perform vital services, in every county of the state, so long as they do not perform abortions.
Stating his willingness to be “quick to forgive” organizations that perform the procedure, Governor Daniels said the following about their chances at future funding:
“Any organization affected by this provision can resume receiving taxpayer dollars immediately by ceasing or separating its operations that perform abortions.”
Now we’ll see just how much Planned Parenthood cares about women: will they quit doing abortions so that they may continue other services for women’s health or will they file lawsuits as they implicitly demonstrate that abortions are more important to them than anything else.
Full press release:
MEDIA ADVISORY
April 29, 2011Governor Mitch Daniels issued a statement today about HEA 1210, approved this week by the Indiana General Assembly:
“I will sign HEA 1210 when it reaches my desk a week or so from now. I supported this bill from the outset, and the recent addition of language guarding against the spending of tax dollars to support abortions creates no reason to alter my position. The principle involved commands the support of an overwhelming majority of Hoosiers, as reflected in greater than 2:1 bipartisan votes in both legislative chambers.
“I commissioned a careful review of access to services across the state and can confirm that all non-abortion services, whether family planning or basic women’s health, will remain readily available in every one of our 92 counties. In addition, I have ordered the Family and Social Services Administration to see that Medicaid recipients receive prompt notice of nearby care options. We will take any actions necessary to ensure that vital medical care is, if anything, more widely available than before.
“Any organization affected by this provision can resume receiving taxpayer dollars immediately by ceasing or separating its operations that perform abortions.”
More about the impact of HEA 1210 in Indiana:
- This law will affect 7 entities in Indiana which have a total of 34 locations in 21 counties throughout the state.
- In the 21 counties where these 7 entities currently operate, there are approximately 800 Medicaid providers which are eligible to provide Medicaid clients with health and family planning services.

The Campaign Waiting for Mitch Daniels
From RealClearPolitics:
By Erin McPike
After Indiana’s legislature gavels to a close today, Mitch Daniels will enter the final phase of his decision-making process about whether to run for the presidency in 2012. But unlike some of the contenders who decided against a run in part because it takes a lot to build one from scratch, Daniels could stroll several blocks out of his Statehouse office, flip on the light switch and the campaign would be right there waiting for him (much like Jon Huntsman will have in Washington when he gets home this weekend).
With more than three decades in politics behind him, the governor has done more than develop a Rolodex he could deploy for fundraising, as most point out. The campaign operative in him also has built an organization ready to go whenever he tells them to — and the media doesn’t seem to know it yet. For the past year, he’s been playing its members like piano keys as he orchestrates his national rollout.
Anthony Dolan, the chief speechwriter for the entire Reagan presidency, knows Daniels well from the time they worked together and explained, “Mitch has always been a marvel with the news dynamic.” He added, “A year ago people were saying ‘Mitch who’ and then comes a rollout with more elaborate choreography than a Busby Berkley musical — we haven’t seen the synchronized swimming yet, but I’m sure it’s coming.”
Indeed, at the same time Daniels has ruminated publicly about whether or not to run — as Dolan put it, “for a while there the Daniels speculation was crowding out the royal wedding” — his team also has carefully blocked out time for national reporters to descend on Indiana to profile him, one at a time. And the intrigue has grown.

Is Mitch Daniels About to Emulate Bob Dole?
From Ricochet:
Now that Mississippi Governor Haley Barbour is officially out of the running for the 2012 Republican presidential nomination, focus on the still-germinal GOP field is now turning to Barbour’s friend and fellow governor Mitch Daniels, the Hoosier who many believed would stay out of the race if Barbour got in (if only to avoid a protracted, divisive Ricochet primary).
Daniels, of course, has been famously reticent about a White House bid, and that leads to doubts from Associated Press writers Philip Elliot and Thomas Beaumont, who write, in a piece published today:
Daniels is the first to acknowledge he’s done little to lay the groundwork for a campaign, and his lack of planning has been striking to some who would support him if he ran.
“I don’t know if he’s got the fire in the belly, drive and desire to run for president of the United States. I haven’t seen it,” Iowa Gov. Terry Branstad told The Associated Press. “At this point, I don’t think it’s likely that he’ll run.”
Branstad, Republican governor of the first state to hold a leadoff nominating contest, got that impression last week when Daniels called to discuss education policy but made no mention of a presidential campaign.
Unlike many in the Ricochet family, I’ve never met Governor Daniels. But monitoring his public statements leads me to believe that our friends at the AP may have this one wrong. What they take for a lack of ambition may instead be a loyalty to the old-fashioned notion of republican virtue, something I wouldn’t expect to be instantly recognizable to the mainstream press.
Governor Daniels has been clear all along that he would await the conclusion of this year’s legislative session in Indiana before announcing his presidential plans or lack thereof. Given his past statements and his character, the reason for this seems disarmingly clear: he actually thinks he has a responsibility to the citizens of Indiana who elected him governor. And it may well be that he thinks that the time to govern is when he’s his state’s chief executive and the time to campaign is when he’s a presidential candidate.
For this reason, I predict that if Mitch Daniels decides to run for president he may well resign his post as governor of Indiana. And if so, bully for him. One of the few decisions in the 1996 Bob Dole campaign that made sense to me was Dole’s resignation from the Senate to focus on his presidential ambitions. The idea that one can discharge the duties of a lower office while simultaneously entering into the all-consuming world of presidential politics is either insulting to the lower office or to the presidential campaign. And — for reasons I can’t quite articulate — the idea of holding on to the lower office as a safety net has always seemed a tad unseemly to me.
One wrinkle for the more politically astute among you: if Daniels resigns, Indiana’s Republican Lieutenant Governor, Becky Skillman, will assume the governorship. You may be wondering how this would effect the probability of Congressman Mike Pence’s all-but-announced 2012 gubernatorial bid. The answer is not much. Skillman has already begged off the 2012 race, citing health issues. In the final calculation, then, that’s Daniels on the road to the White House and Pence on the road to Indianapolis. I don’t know about you, but I could live with that.
The Libertarian Case for Mitch Daniels…
From HoosierAccess:
Governor of Indiana Mitch Daniels has been on a number of short lists for a possible presidential run in 2012. For his part, Governor Daniels has declined to announce his intentions, one way or the other, until after the end of the Indiana Legislative Session. Of course, as that date approaches, speculation is intense as to the Governor’s Washington ambitions. Fiscal conservatives are head over heels for Daniels, and with good reason. Social conservatives have cooled to the governor as he has intentionally stepped away from social policies to focus on facing economic challenges head on. But there’s one group who is largely still up in the air on Daniels: Libertarians.
With the growing popularity of limited government movements such as the Tea Party, and the renewed national focus on sound fiscal policy, Libertarianism has emerged again as an increasingly popular political philosophy. Eschewing the “big-spending” “big-government” candidates of the left, Libertarians usually find themselves naturally drawn politically to the right. But with the shallow pool of Republican presidential contenders leading up to the 2012 elections, Libertarians may find themselves out in the cold.
This is where Governor Mitch Daniels comes in. Libertarians would be wise to support Governor Daniels for several reasons, most of the same reasons, in fact, that should compel most Americans to support him.

Governor Daniels on Obama Debt Speech
From HoosierAccess:
Governor Mitch Daniels appeared on the Wall Street Journal Report with Maria Bartiromo discussing President Obama’s debt speech. He argues that “We’d be better off if the speech had never been given.”
A Time for Choosing Mitch Daniels
From National Review:
Mitch Daniels’s exceptional performance as governor of Indiana suggests that he is anything but a flavor of the month. Yes, he has received a lot of favorable attention from the media, and the American media’s love affairs do not always end well. But President Obama’s election in 2008 proves that media praise is by no means always a kiss of death. And Daniels is no mere “heartthrob of the elites” (if it is even possible for a conservative to be such a thing). The Student Initiative to Draft Daniels — which has aired TV ads in Iowa, Indiana, New Hampshire, and Washington D.C. — indicates his popularity among young people across the country, from Republicans like myself to independents and disaffected Obama supporters.
Daniels is a compelling candidate not simply because he is a truth-teller willing to state hard facts (as he did in his speech at CPAC), but also because he has a long record grounded in principle and characterized by competence. Throughout his tenure as governor, Daniels has been an enormously successful budget hawk, transforming deficits into surpluses — which complements the reputation he acquired at the Office of Management and Budget, where he was nicknamed “The Blade” for his efforts to slash government spending.
He appeals to young people because he has the ability and credibility to speak out on generational issues like the national debt and entitlement reform. He is not the first candidate in recent history to be willing to speak hard truths, of course. But seeing as our president did not even mention entitlement reform in his State of the Union address, Daniels’s timing could not be better.
This past November we witnessed a rejection of President Obama’s arrogantly expansive and ferociously expensive brand of liberalism. But the conservative movement needs a leader who will do more than reject; it requires a leader who can rebuild. Daniels is a proven small-government hero who can bridge the gap between establishment conservatives and their populist Tea Party critics. Daniels served as a top political adviser to Reagan, and he has clearly learned several lessons from his old boss — for one, that politics is “a game of addition, not subtraction” (in Peggy Noonan’s words). And while some social conservatives have raised concerns about Daniels’s idea for a “truce” on social issues, we should remember that the subject of Reagan’s famous 1964 speech “A Time for Choosing” was not abortion or gay rights, but “whether we believe in our capacity for self-government or whether we abandon the American Revolution and confess that a little intellectual elite in a far-distant capital can plan our lives for us better than we can plan them ourselves.” Reagan maintained these priorities when he ran for president in 1980, emphasizing lower taxes, smaller government, and a strong national defense.
The key question, then, is not whether Daniels is too elite to be electable, but whether the fact that he eats fiscal responsibility for breakfast will compel Americans to vote for him. I believe both that it can and, in light of our growing federal debt (a flood of red ink that Daniels in his CPAC speech termed the “New Red Menace”), that it must. Simply put, Daniels is a candidate who could restore the Republican party’s ability to do arithmetic and make it stand for the extraordinary aspirations of ordinary people once again.
The only unremarkable piece of the equation is the fact that if elected, Daniels would follow a long line of successful governors who were elected president: Franklin Roosevelt, Ronald Reagan, Bill Clinton, and most recently, George W. Bush. The time for what George Will has called “conservatism for grown-ups” is now.
Daniels on Ryan Budget: ‘First Serious Proposal Produced by Either Party’
From National Review:
Indiana governor Mitch Daniels, who referred to the growing national debt as our generation’s “red threat” during his February CPAC speech, has issued this statement in response to Rep. Paul Ryan’s budget:
The House budget resolution is the first serious proposal produced by either party to deal with the overriding issue of our time. The national debt we are amassing threatens the livelihood and the liberty of every single American, and in particular the life prospects of our young people.
Anyone criticizing this plan without offering a specific and equally bold program of his own has failed in the public duty to be honest and clear with Americans about the gravest danger we are facing together.
