PERFECTLY POSITIONED FOR A PEROT MOMENT:

Mitch Daniels makes White House moves (JONATHAN MARTIN, 9/14/10, Politico)

Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels has been holding a series of private dinners with top Republican business leaders, policy hands and donors from around the country since this spring, an indication that he’s thinking more seriously about a presidential bid than he publicly lets on.

The dinners, which take place at the governor’s mansion in Indianapolis, are meant to introduce Daniels to a class of GOP heavy-hitters who could both finance and advise a White House campaign.

In a normal political cycle a diminutive wonk might have trouble, but the time seems right for him.
