INDIANAPOLIS -

Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels says he would consider serving in the Cabinet of a new Republican president but says it's "very improbable" the eventual GOP nominee would tap him as a running mate.

Daniels told the editorial board of The Courier-Journal of Louisville, Ky., on Thursday he doesn't think "any citizen who thinks about it" would say no if offered a Cabinet-level post. He was responding to a question asking if he would run for president if no other Republican candidate could defeat President Barack Obama in November.

Daniels announced last year that he wouldn't run for president, citing family concerns.

He said Thursday that he won't be entering the presidential campaign and adds that "it's very improbable" the GOP nominee would ask him to run for vice president.
