Why the website?

With all the speculation about Mitch Daniels place in the GOP, the encouragement for him to run for President, and his stated desire to return to private life after 2012, here’s a question: Why does the governor maintain a political website?
mymanmitch.com is up to date with video of speeches, news accounts, lists of accomplishments.. and .. a place to donate money.
It could be that Daniels needs the money to help out other candidates and not himself, maybe candidates for the Indiana House in 2010. He has a huge interest in the battle for control there.
But, could he be leaving a door open?

All the reasons Mitch gives for not wanting to run for President are reasons why we should be encouraging him to do so. The founders anticipated leaders who didn’t really want to be in thoses positions but did so out of fidelity to the nation. And it is going to take someone with great fortitude and skill to clean up the mess Obama is leaving.
