Mitch Daniels Is Out

Indiana Governor Mitch Daniels has made the decision to not run in next year's crowded Republican field for the Presidency. Supporters of Mr. Daniels ranged from former Bush administration officials to bloggers on Pundit Press.

This decision actually surprises me, because while Mr. Daniels wasn't doing well in national opinion polls, he was performing well in State GOP straw polls across the country, particularly in the Western United States, and had the potential to raise a sizable amount of cash from establishment Republicans, who desperately courted him for months.

With Mr. Daniels announcement the 2012 Republican field is all set, with only a couple of moves left to make everything official for the twenty million Primary voters who will select our nominee early next year to take on President Obama.

What say you?
