Governor tells diner crowd he’s getting out of politics
On cross-Indiana road trip, Daniels pays fifth visit to Rose’s, calls it ‘one of the best eating places in the state’

HENDRICKSVILLE — Customers passing by Mitch Daniels’ table at Rose’s Diner lunchtime Wednesday had one thing on their minds: the governor’s plan for the future.
“Are you still going to come out here for lunch when you’re president?” an older gentleman asked on his way out the door of the Greene County home-cooking restaurant on Ind. 43.
A spoonful of ham and beans in hand, Daniels didn’t miss a bite.
“You’re right on the first thing, but your premise is wrong on the second,” he said, reaching for a piece of buttered corn bread.
Daniels, on a two-day tour that took him from Indianapolis to Gary to Reynolds to West Lafayette to Bloomfield to New Harmony, stopped off in Hendricksville for lunch with the locals at what he called “one of the greatest eating places in the state.” He figures he’s eaten at Rose’s Diner five times. Wednesday, he ordered the $3.25 special: ham and beans, fried potatoes and corn bread. Iced tea to wash it down. Half a piece of butterscotch pie for dessert.
Daniels, in his second term as governor, continues his travels around the state to keep in touch with the people who elected him even though he cannot seek a third term and says he is finished with politics.
So why leave his fancy office and travel the state, staying overnight with a family he never met on their farm in Francesville?
“For one thing, it’s fun,” Daniels said. “And I think it’s something you owe your employers, to be accessible. And it’s an endless source of learning.”
U.S. News & World Report’s Michael Barone’s blog on Dec. 9 said there’s “a case for Mitch Daniels as a possible presidential candidate.” He cited a news release from Daniels’ office that attributed the governor’s success, in part, to him being “accessible to average Hoosiers through constant state travel.”
About 1 p.m. Wednesday, a black sedan with the governor and two staff members pulled into the diner’s gravel parking lot. Before sitting down to his meal, the governor stopped by tables and talked with customers.
Several, having heard the presidential talk, prodded Daniels about what he will do when his term expires at the end of 2012. “I don’t have a clue, probably something in business,” he said.
“Are you getting out of politics?” one man asked.
“Yes,” Daniels replied.
“But we need smart, knowledgeable people in politics,” John Mangus said.
“We’ll recruit younger ones,” the governor promised, leaving the fried potatoes on his plate.
