GOP Candidate Pool
May 23rd, 2011 by flanewsFormer Minnesota Governor Tim Pawlenty is in… Indiana Governor Mitch Daniels is out. Last week several other big names dropped out of the pool of GOP candidates looking to challenge President Barack Obama in 2012. Some within the Republican Party are questioning if they’ll produce a candidate that can win in 2012. Governor Rick Scott is more optimistic about the GOP pool, so much so, he’s not going to challenge any of the candidates.
“I’m not running for president and I don’t intend to run for president. There are a lot of great candidates and you know, it looks like there’s likely to be more,” said Scott.
Besides not entering the race, Scott is also holding out on endorsing any of the GOP candidates.
