Romney: 'My wife thinks I should run'(only his wife knows whether he can beat Palin)
Boston.com ^ | Tuesday February 01, 2011 | Matt Viser

Former Governor Mitt Romney may not have decided whether to run for president, but someone else in his household has already made the call.

"My wife thinks I should run," he declared tonight in an interview with CNN's Piers Morgan. "She's absolutely committed. She's saying, 'You've got to run, you've got to have somebody who understands the world of the economy, small business, who can create jobs.' She's convinced I've got to run. But I have to look more broadly and say, 'Alright, Do I have a team necessary to do this?'"

Romney, continuing a whirlwind tour of television interviews to promote the new paperback version of his book, also talked up potential presidential rival Sarah Palin.

"I believe she is an extraordinarily powerful and effective voice in our party, that she has generated a great deal of support and attention," he said of the former Alaska governor. "She'd be great in a primary process."

When Morgan asked whether Romney could beat Palin, he said, "I don't know the answer to that."

The host then asked whether his wife knows the answer.

"She probably does," Romney replied.

Mitt is so slimy and fake, he is like a GOP version of John Edwards.

Your wife means you’re fat, Mitt.
Your career in Republican politics ended with the signing of Romneycare.

Jon Huntsman will be filling the Romney slot. Romney will not run because he authored Massachusetts health care law and lost last time around...he is too familiar. Jon Huntsman is fresh on the national stage and has the $$$$ raising connections

Best thing he could do for the country, if he cares-would be to throw his support to Palin, then serve as the Secretary of Commerce to preside over its dismantling. If he does a good job of that, he can move on to unwind other Federal entities...

"Romneycare is business?"

Yes, I'd say running a state into bankruptcy is an indicator of your business accumen.
