Daniels is on a media blitz this week to promote the book, with stops in New York and Washington and myriad national TV appearances. To CBS’s Norah O’Donnell this weekend, he reiterated that his decision not to launch a presidential campaign was a family affair. “There is one sentence to which a father has no reply, which is, ‘Daddy, please don’t,’ ” Daniels said.
In that interview he also acknowledged that he wasn’t opposed to being on the ballot next year as the Republican nominee’s running mate.
“I always say that one day the phone rings [and] something that seems interesting, useful is on the other end,” he said in the interview, touching on the VP prospect. “I don’t rule anything out, I suppose.”
Daniels’ most active cheerleaders have not quieted their hopes that he be considered, and the Indiana GOP has been busy hosting the presidential candidates at Indianapolis forums, where Romney is scheduled to appear Friday.
