On Fox News Sunday, Mitch Daniels downplayed the prospect that he may be Mitt Romney’s vice presidential nominee. Host Chris Wallace asked if his family would be warmer about that possibility than they were of running for president.
“We haven’t had the conversation and I don’t expect to have it,” Daniels said. “You know a lot went into that decision not to run [for president]. Very specifically that I promsied the people of my state eight full years, and I like living up to that commitment, showing that it was real. So no, I don’t — I think this is a hypothetical question that will probably stay that way.”
Pressed whether he’d accept VP if Romney offered, Daniels said, “I think I would demand reconsideration and send Mr. Romney a list of people I think could suit better.” He declined to list any names but said “there’s a lot of talent in the Republican Party” and Romney “has a wide range of people to pick from.”
