From FortWayne.com:
Gov. Mitch Daniels is making a strong push to help Indiana Republicans win back the state House of Representatives in November, helping to recruit candidates and raising money to benefit the party.
The results could determine how successful he is in his final two years in office as he works for changes on issues such as charter schools, teacher pay and government reforms. But they also could increase national speculation about his potential as a Republican presidential candidate in 2012.
Daniels kept an aggressive pace during his first two years in office, when Republicans controlled both chambers of the Legislature. He won approval to lease the Indiana Toll Road to a foreign consortium for 75 years and declared victory after the state’s three-decade struggle over whether to switch to daylight saving time. But Democrats have held a slim majority in the Indiana House since 2007, and the momentum has slowed.
