Here’s your question du jour now that we know we’re getting four more years of Mitch Daniels: Who’s gonna bail?

Despite the fact that the Guv is not, by any account, a friendly or rewarding boss, his employees (hereinafter “the Mitchies”) are fiercely loyal to him.

Think of it as a strange political mutation of Stockholm Syndrome.

The Mitchies are rarely told they’re doing a good job, but they nonetheless soak up their boss’s fierce temper and my-way-or-the-highway attitude.

I won’t ever say Daniels isn’t incredibly smart, but you’d think after four years, his staffers would get tired of hearing how he’s the smartest person in the room.

There was quite a bit of agency head turnover — some voluntary, some due to ethics scandals and general incompetence — halfway through the Guv’s first term. I have to wonder if anyone is eyeing a departure after the first of the year.

If the economy weren’t in the tank, right after a big re-election is traditionally a darned good time to look for a new gig.
