I think Glenn is absolutely right. Almost immediately, Jebbie hired a couple of Romney staffers.

Good luck to the Jebster going ahead without the base.

Political deals are far less common than is supposed because politicians do not trust each other and ego and conflicting interests tend to tug them in different directions. Nevertheless, Romney and Jeb are both wealthy establishment types who share a similarity of approach and outlook that now makes them natural allies. Yet Jeb has an arrogance that often causes resentment by supporters, and it is easy enough to imagine Jeb mismanaging his relationship with Romney and forfeiting his active support.

Yes, that was my first thought.

Pretty much. Wonder what nefarious deal Romney worked out with Jeb Bush. It would be great if some of the potential conservative candidates worked out a deal whereby they left the field open for Ted Cruz. However, Ted Cruz will win with or without such a deal.
