Book excerpt: What does not happen in politics can be as important as what does happen. This was the case when my friend Mitch Daniels, then Indianas much-admired governor, decided against seeking the Republicans 2012 presidential nomination. This book is a fascinating look at the interplay of the personal and the political, a story of one of modern historys might-have-beens. George Will Syndicated Columnist This is a fascinating history of the eight people who worked tirelessly to bring to life a 2012 presidential candidacy on behalf of Governor Mitch Daniels. Highly competent, accomplished, visionary and with an extraordinary common touch but lacking an ego driven ambition- the perfect anti-Obama- Daniels could have been a game changing candidate had he chosen to run. Reading this story, it is hard not to conclude that the country would have been the real beneficiary of a Daniels candidacy. Patrick H. Caddell Fox News Contributor Pollster and Political Strategist The increasingly pernicious nature of our political campaigns and media coverage of candidates is driving some of our most talented people out of the process. Run Mitch, Run takes readers behind the scenes on just one such case, and why then-Indiana Governor Mitch Daniels, one of the most qualified people to lead our country, decided that his love of family took precedence over his willingness to seek the presidency and serve the country.
