On Sunday's broadcast of ABC's This Week Democratic strategist and Clinton confidant James Carville predicted not only will Mitt Romney enter the presidential race, but that he will campaign as the "conservative alternative" to Jeb Bush.
"Of course he's going to get in and he's going to run against Bush from the right," Carville said on the panel portion of This Week. "I think he has a strategy that he didn't have before. And his strategy is he's the conservative alternative."

I agree with you. Jeb and Mitt are two sides of the same GOPe coin, and the presence of both in the race would present an opportunity for Conservatives. The stealth threat is Huckabee, who can peel off enough gullible evangelicals to divide the Conservative vote. GOP Conservatives must rally early behind a standard bearer in order to win the 216 nomination.
You forgot 0bamacare.
Voters like you gave us 0bama's second term.
It’s my not too humble opinion that Romney lost because he failed to articulate an adequate understanding of our issues, and the reasons we hold the views as we do.
If he STOPS LISTENING TO CONSULTANTS, and shows us he at least understands what we’re saying, there won’t be so many staying home on election day.
Are you delusional? Look at what he has done. He can say he's conservative all he wants, and some low info people will believe him, but they are idiots like democrats who believe obama. Conservatives see through the deception. Romneys only in there to attack the true conservative so bush doesn't look like a bad guy. Won't work. Watch what happens when conservatives explains to people the game the establishment is playing.
Many of us will NEVER vote for him. I'll vote third party or stay home should he or another leftist win the primary. Are you Mormon? Is that why you like him? To fulfill a supposed prophecy?
Cruz - Martinez. Cruz - West
But, Jeb has already claimed that he is conservative.
That is going to be some shootout: conservative Jeb against conservative Mitt.
[Think the real conservatives will be fooled again?]
Then, we have Jeb getting advice from McCain on how to win the nomination without the support of the conservatives.
He articulated his positions just fine.

I do not believe Palin plans to run. The only one I am comfortable with is Ted Cruz.
Thanks. Hope neither one of them get anywhere close to the Presidency.
Only one real “conservative” will be able to vanquish them all.
The moderate right has never forgiven Reagan for winning. But they sure like the prosperity he brought.
Progressive propaganda.
But Romney is a leftie — think Romneycare.
Dear GOP,
From your base: no conservative, no vote.
Period.
Heck, you’re dead anyway.
All I know is the constant hate mongering between Republicans is delighting the Demon Rats. :-(
You really need to seek help for that reading comprehension issue you have.
Like others who are attacking me for the statement I made, you should seek help for to improve your reading comprehension.
True, he articulated HIS positions, but he didn’t articulate OURS.
“Conservative alternative Romney”...should I die laughing now or later?
Neither one will win, some Romney voters need to wake up to the fact that he isn’t conservative at all though!
Carville needs to quit huffing the paint can.
Jeeeeze
