Pence To Make Announcement Today, For President or Governor UPDATE: Not Running For President
Above the post update [DrewM.]: The announcement came early...not running for President, hints towards run for Governor.
He was a long shot for the nomination this year. If Obama is reelected (God help us), he'll be in better shape for 2016. Amazing how many great candidates we might have then. I hope we don't need them.
So, who has the most Presidential Hair(tm) now? Mitt? Thune? The race is wide open.
Original Post:
Late today, Politico says.
DrewM. notes he's giving the announcement to his hometown paper which Drew takes to mean he's announcing for governor.
I don't take it that way -- a presidential candidate would do that too. "Small town values" and etc.
That said, most people figure he'll go for the office he's much more likely to win, the governorship, rather than make a difficult run for the nomination in a presidential contest in which a lot of people think we're still heavy underdogs.
Update: He'll announce at 7pm tonight.
