Mitch Daniels will be named president of Purdue University, as first reported by WISH-TV.
Asked if the news was true, a top Daniels source would not deny reports and told First Read, “It is confirmed by impeccable sources.”
The Purdue Board is meeting Thursday to finalize the offer to Daniels.
Daniels is finishing his second and final term as governor of Indiana and had been considered a potential VP pick for Romney.
NBC's Andrea Mitchell reports that a Daniels aide said officially, "Our office does not have a comment about the report."


At least he had enough brains to run as far away from Willard as humanly possible!
Don't like the guy but he does recognize a loser when he sees one!
Chicago is in desperate need of a Community Organizer. The old one will be available in January....
LOL UAW! Chicago needs a helluva lot more than that!
Feisty, I didn't know you met Mitch Daniels!?!
Yea he can help Ramboni figure out how they are going to pay back all those union bribes to the police and fire unions... The tax and spend policy of Chicagoland has turned the rest of Illinois into an economic wasteland....
Mitch Daniels isn't the only guy that recognizes Obama as a looser.
What's a "looser"?
Mitch Daniels belongs in Washington , DC, either as VP or with a top cabinet position.
He has been a great success in his two terms as Governor, and can bring his talents to help fix the mess left by Obama and his leftist failed policies...
Compare Indiana with the failed liberal governance in Illinois.....
I somehow imagine that the renumeration as the head of Purdue will probably be a nicer overall package than being the governor and putting up with all the yammering that goes along with it.
Hey probe-boy, don't forget to take your Propecia.
Mitch Daniels belongs in Washington , DC, either as VP or with a top cabinet position.
V-Bob
What are you complaining about. This may open new doors for "Prober Boy"
Ah, yes, Bob...I, too, remember when the GOP desperately wanted Mitch Daniels to be its nominee for President of the United States and not Mitt Romney.
...but look at the bright side...at least he gets to be President of SOMETHING!!!
Who cares! Mitch Daniels? Really? ZZzzzzzzzzz.
Great hire by Purdue
There goes the enrollment at Purdue.
Good for Mr. Daniels!!! Nothing else needs to be said.
Purdue is known for its science, why would they want a anti-science, anti-environment Republican like Mitch Daniels?
Why does Andrea Mitchell report false and misleading videos on her TV Show?? And why do I have to learn about this at other news sites? She should be fired.
Just trying to be a lil' funny here but he kinda looks like Frank Purdue the chicken magnate. Ok I'll laugh to myself on that one. It's just the ironic from the moronic.
