Daniels says no presidential pitch made at dinners

INDIANAPOLIS — Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels says he never pitched himself as a potential presidential candidate during dinners he hosted with top Republican fundraisers and business and policy leaders.

Daniels said Wednesday that the dinners at the governor's residence began last spring and have included people who want him to consider a 2012 White House run. Daniels has agreed to keep the door open but says he is not inclined to run.

Daniels says the dinner discussions focused on issues important to the country but did not include substantive talk of a presidential candidacy.

He says the dinners were paid for with private money.
