The disappointment was nearly palpable from some people as this writer rode back to her hotel on Saturday night. It was around 1:30 pm EST when this writer learned the news of Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels (R) announcing he would not run for the position of GOP presidential contender that had people upset. Governor Daniels had sent an email out at a little after midnight to followers to let them know he would not be running for the position.

At that time, this blogger had finished a long day of GOTV work in the Buffalo, NY area for Jane Corwin who is the GOP nominee in a special election for NY26.  As the bus of DC Young Republicans pulled out of Niagara Falls that night, those in the group who favored Mitch talked about the news.
