Nikki Haley not considering Mitt Romney’s VP
Indian-American Nikki Haley is not considering a Vice Presidential run in US election later this year, saying it would be “wrong” to leave the work she is doing as South Carolina governor unfinished.
40-year-old Haley, the daughter of Indian immigrants from Punjab, said she “would say no” if asked to consider running as the Republican party’s vice presidential running mate.
“How could I do that to the people of the state (South Carolina). They took such a chance on me and gave me the opportunity to show them what work I can do. It is my responsibility to finish the job that I’ve been given. It would be wrong to leave it,” Haley said in an interview to the New York Times.
She said she has not thought about what her future goals will be.
Haley is the first Indian American woman to serve as governor of a US state and the second from the community, after Bobby Jindal, to get elected to the post.
Haley said she was inspired by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to run for office after being told by many that she was too young to run for office and that she had small children to take care of.

Indian-American Nikki Haley is not considering a Vice Presidential run in US election later this year, saying it would be “wrong” to leave the work she is doing as South Carolina Governor unfinished. Needless to say, the Great State of South Carolina is very lucky to have such an ideal role model running their STATE of Affairs! I REALLY look up to and admire Nikki Haley, don’t YOU??
THAT is sooo admirable!! Reminds ME of when Michael J. FOX wouldn’t leave FAMILY TIES to do BACK TO THE FUTURE and instead worked out a deal with them to do both! He worked night and day but he wouldn’t hurt the man who helped him out when he was down and out and HE NEVER FORGOT THAT! A man of Grreat Integrity which IS so rare indeed! I once met Michael J. FOX on the UPPER WEST SIDE when he did SPIN CITY which was being produced by an old Fordham acquaintance at the time and he was super nice, humble and witty as ever just LIKE my old Fordham acquaintance who produced the show! Birds of a feather DO flock together! Grrreat guy that FOX! No wonder he is LOVED by the masses just LIKE Nikki Haley!
