I actually think Romney is a strong possibility. The Democrats are incredibly divisive, yet they want to portray themselves as the Party of Unity. Having a Republican as the Democrat candidate for President could work well for them. Romney is the perfect Republican for that job, since he’s a Democrat.

I thought the same, then said "nah!" He'd have to get a sex change operation and I don't think he's willing to whack off his willy. And he couldn't come out and declare himself non-white.

Identity politics runs too deeply in the party of Pol Pot.

Yes, he meets many of the requirements. But he is the wrong sex and the wrong color. He could partially fix the sex problem with a simple admission - there are a couple of possibilities that would work.

But the lack of a suitable skin color is a deal killer. Scratch Romney off the list.
