SAN DIEGO — Mitt Romney's unexpected step into the 2016 presidential contest is drawing enthusiasm from the GOP's most passionate conservatives.
But not because they want him to win. For the first time in recent memory, prominent conservatives see a Republican presidential field that could have as much competition among the party's establishment-minded prospects — like Romney — as its fiery conservatives....

I read the article and, frankly, there was no mention of exactly who these "passionate conservatives" are at all.
You see a lot of hype from former and erstwhile advisors and workers (shills) for the three that are discussed now, and you see GOP fundraisers and shills hyping up the "enthusiasm", but there is no "there" there.
If they were to try and connect the name "Cruz" with PASSIONATE CONSERVATIVES then I might believe some of the context. But this whole article is nothing but a cheerlead intended to dupe big money contributors IMO.
Where’s that picture of the guy holding his head saying “Not this sh!t again.”
I ain’t votin’ for no CULT GROUP member!
Conservatives my butt. Romney is a mewling RINO at best. I’d cheers him happily onto retirement but he is not capable of winning. The GopE know this.
Mitt has two jobs...
1. Make sure a conservative doesn’t get nominated
2. Make sure the DemocRat gets elected.
He did this in 2012, I have no reason to believe he wouldn’t do the same thing in 2016.
Right?
C’mon Man. We have the opportunity to change America for the better here. And the best choice the Republicans can offer is Bush III, Romney, and Cristie? Please tell me a real leader is coming from somewhere, anywhere.
You might want to read the article. I want to see Romney run, so he can split the establishment vote between himself , Christie and Jeb Bush, making it easier for Ted Cruz to win
He is going to have the exact opposite effect this time. Go Ted Cruz.
Here’s a God Fearing, gun toting, former Marine, Tea partier, Oath keeping redneck conservative...........
Yes!
I have no idea why freepers would get on a thread like this and whine about all these guys running. We want to encourage them ALL to run and split the RINO vote.
At the same time.
All the way until the nomination.
It's the best chance of us getting a decent conservative for a change.
Will the RINO RAT Romney and Tokyo Rove steal all the
donated money? like last time?
I gladly welcome Romney..he will take votes from the GOPe and perhaps we can get a conservative nom....reverse the tables on the sobs in the RNC!
I wonder if the donor class is wise enough to know that they can’t control the party’s nomination once so many liberals are in the race. If they have any sense, they’re going to try to force at least one of those three out by making sure that the big money isn’t there.
When the Democrats are very clearly setting the table to run on hard-left, full-throated, class warrior economic populism, I cannot possibly think of a worse candidate to put up there than Mitt Romney.
Did they learn nothing from the last time?
Carville(Democrat): "It's a feel-good story, this Romney thing.
Romney is an ascendant guy."
Ideally we want a bunch of RINOs and only one or two conservatives to run for the nomination. The RINOs spit the RINO vote and we don’t split the conservative vote. The opposite has happened the last two cycles. Still can’t believe I voted for McCain and Romney but I did. Because the alternative was worse.
