In a new interview with Brian Howey, Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels again denies interest in a 2012 run, but says that doesn't mean he'll keep quiet when the time comes.
But he wants 2012 prospects to pay special attention to that phrase "when the time comes".
Asked if he has in mind a successor for the 2012 Republican gubernatorial nomination, Daniels responded, “No, I don’t,” but added that he will weigh in “when the time comes.”
He added that he has conveyed to potential contenders to “keep their ambitions in check. Let’s get in one good season of reform” before the 2012 race begins.
He also talked about his efforts to recruit and support Republican candidates in Indiana, and hopes the GOP can solve its diversity problem.
"We need to have more women.”
