Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels, who disappointed many of his fellow Republicans when he decided against joining the field for the 2012 presidential nomination, said Friday that he would welcome former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin’s (R) entering the race.

"My attitude all along has been the more the merrier," Daniels said Friday on the "Laura Ingraham Show."

Speculation about Palin’s run has intensified as a November filing deadline approaches. The former governor said Tuesday that she believed "there is still time" to enter the presidential race, and that she is "still one of those still considering the time factor."
