Indiana Gov: Daniels a National Political Figure?




To get a call this early, Mitch Daniels has clearly won a comfortable victory in what might be a tough night for Republicans (or might not). Could he end up on a future national ticket?

He definitely has a good story in Indiana -- conservative credentials, but also non-partisan accomplishments. Potential problems: He's not a natural politician and he is a former Bush administration official.
