Mitt Romney is eyeing a third run for the White House and will get in the race in the coming months if he doesn't like how the GOP field is looking, his longtime friend Kem Gardner said Monday.
"I know exactly what Mitt's going to do," Gardner, a real estate developer who helped bring Romney to Utah to lead the 2002 Winter Olympics, told the Deseret News. "I think over the next few months, a lot of things will happen."
But Spencer Zwick, who raised $1 billion for Romney's 2012 campaign, said the decision is a personal one for Romney and isn't going to be dependent on how any other Republican in the race is doing.
"I don't believe Mitt Romney is going to make a decision to run or not based on who's doing well or who's not," said Zwick, so close to Romney he's been called his sixth son...
Gardner, however, said Romney is watching to see how the other potential Republican candidates fare, especially Bush and Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, before deciding whether to run again after losses in 2008 and 2012...
Romney's decision hinges on who is shaping up to be the party's potential nominee, Gardner said.
"If it's Ted Cruz that's the candidate, he's in. If it's Jeb Bush, he's probably not," Gardner said.
He said Romney doesn't want to cost fellow moderate Republicans Bush and New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie support at this point in the race...
Jowers estimated Romney has between three and six months before his big-money contributors start committing to other candidates...
"He's here without a rudder and getting restless," Gardner said. "There's only so many cookbooks you can write."

Good. Split the RINO vote with Jeb and Fatso.
It should be the other way around.
So, we are to believe that the best candidates for 2016 is either Jeb (removing Immigration as a campaign issue) or Romeny (who removed Health Care as an issue from the 2012 campaign).
Zwick was Romney’s national finance chair in 2012 so maybe a billion is not too far off.
As long as he only eyes it and doen’t try to win the nomination.
Not very easy when the media ignores him and Obama has his IRS shutting down his donors.
Who cares ... Obama will eliminate the 22 amendment by fatwah and the republicrats wont do anything to stop him.
Romney’s “charity” consists of Mormonism and works within and for his Mormon cult and fellow Mormons, and is part of his required giving to his religion, if he fails in that requirement then he loses Temple membership and his place in heaven, and he won’t become a God.
Actually should be Rino on top... they be doing the screwin
This is because when voters were surveyed about the 2012 election in 2014, Romney wins big in a do-over. Something like 68% of the vote.
The media should have given more coverage to Mitt reverting to his pro-abortion position, after he won the nomination.
Mitt: Please make a deal with your buddy Jeb Bush to both stand down.
I am not sure the comment about Bush is true. I don’t think Mitt wants Jeb to get the nod. Not at all.
Romney and/or Bush a Republican death wish.

Yeah, if the field is looking too conservative, he’ll
get in.
This guy had a billion dollar war chest and couldn’t
win? L is for Loser.
I agree. Cruz looks like a villain cartoon character while Mitt Romney looks like Clark Kenk aka Superman. I think the men are threatened by Romney’s manliness. Cruz sounds gay. That feminine voice of Cruz’s and his snake like mannerisms! Don’t need any photoshopped pictures for THAT visual! Just LOOK at Cruz!
People put way too much faith in money. Cruz does not need a billion Romneybux. He just needs to do what he does. It’s obvious people respond to it.
There isn’t enough money to turn me to Mitt. And he proved there isn’t enough to turn the country.
No Thanks. Been there done that and lost...
Maybe his running mate will be better this time around......................
