Indiana Governor Mitch Daniels is quitting politics effective immediately. He is now set to become president of Purdue University once his term as governor ends in January. When Daniels' term ends, he will have served as Indiana's 49th governor for eight years. He was first elected to the governorship in 2004. Even though he didn't run for president this year, his name has been frequently mentioned as a possible running mate for Mitt Romney. Since he's slated to become president of Purdue University in January, we can strike his name off the VP list.
Daniel, 63, succeeds retiring Purdue President France Cordova. His candidacy was approved Thursday by the Purdue Board of Trustees. To read the full story, click on the above link from Newsmax.
