Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels -- and rumored 2012 GOP presidential hopeful -- will speak at the annual Conservative Political Action Conference in Washington in
“„Indiana Gov Mitch Daniels will attend CPAC, speaking to the annual conservative confab on Feb. 11, a source tells POLITICO. It’s another sign that Daniels is thinking seriously about a White House bid. He has previously eschewed the Republican cattle call circuit, insisting that he’s entirely focused on his day job. The CPAC appearance offers Daniels a high-profile platform to address his comments last year that there ought to be a ‘truce’ on cultural issues to address the country’s pressing fiscal problems. He has since sought to clarify his assessment, but the remarks have raised concerns among the GOP’s social conservative wing.
