Pence creo yo que estará a espensas de la decisión final de Daniels porque si Mitch Daniel corre la plaza vacante de gobernador de Indiana podría ocuparla Pence. Le encajo más ahí. No obstante creo que será una de las grandes figuras a tener en cuenta en la Convención de Tampa a mediados de agosto de 2012.
