SALT LAKE CITY There are new hints that former Utah Olympic leader Mitt Romney is gearing up to announce another run for president.
Politico reported Thursday that Romney aides are telling other Republicans that he expects to launch his campaign in April.
The online news source noted Romney has already taken "another methodical step toward his 2012 run" by stepping down from the Marriott hotel chain board of directors again.
The last time Romney left was before he ran successfully for governor of Massachusetts following the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City. He rejoined the board in January 2009.
Another online news source, RealClearPolitics, posted later Thursday that Romney has also hired both a pollster and a political director, citing sources connected to his 2008 presidential bid.
Romney spokesman Eric Fehrnstrom had little to say.
"Gov. Romney believes the campaign got started too soon last time, and he's in no hurry to make an announcement of his plans," Fehrnstrom told the Deseret News.

Spot-on with that graphic. The State Run Media is promoting Romney (and Huckabee), as they know they are RINO Losers and ABP is the mantra (anybody-but-Palin).
They have no fear of those RINO's, as Conservatives have no stomach for holding their noses and voting the Establishment candidates in as usual.
Trying to squelch the Tea Party feeling is the goal....

I’m not voting for any politician who wasn’t blamed for the “Tuscon” shootings by the commie liberal piggies, the homosexual drug addicts and the commie propagandists in the alphabet soup state run “media”. If “Sheriff” Clarence the Clown Dipstik did not attack you last weekend, YOU’RE NOT GETTING MY VOTE!

Go ahead, Mitt. Be sure to spend your fortune in a usrless exercise. Your wife probably doesn’t mind spending the summer on the rubber chicken circuit instead of on a deck on Nantucket. (there will probably be more sharks where you’ll be dog-paddling, though.)

I hope he does nothing more damaging than coming out as the Easter Bunny in April.
I really doubt I will vote for him if he did get the Republican nomination.
I’m sick of the spineless beltway representation.
We need warriors against socialism, not a giant Ken doll.

He’ll probably compromise on that.

Like a bad passage of gas that will not dissipate, here he comes again..........
Why can't these megalomaniacs get over themselves??????

Anyone here ever feel sick, from say drinking milk thats been sitting out to long, or eating a spoiled piece of fruit, or anything ?
The feeling I get that Romney will win the nomination, gives me that same feeling in my stomach.....
