Romney moves to reassemble campaign apparatus for 2016
Washington Post ^ | January 12, 2016 | Robert Costa, Philip Rucker and Karen Tumulty

Mitt Romney is moving quickly to reassemble his national political network, spending the weekend and Monday calling former aides, donors and other supporters — as well as onetime foes such as Newt Gingrich.

Romney’s message was that he is serious about making a 2016 presidential bid. He told one senior Republican he “almost certainly will” run in what would be his third campaign for the White House, this person said.

His aggressive outreach over the past three days indicates that Romney’s declaration of interest to a group of donors in New York Friday was more than the release of a trial balloon but rather was the start of a concerted push by the 2012 nominee to be an active participant in the 2016 campaign.

Who was Romney's running mate the last time out?
I don't remember -- really.

Paul Ryan.

He wants a cabinet position so he's keeping his name in the news.

Either that or Jeb's needling got under his skin.

Please just ignore any articles & stories about Mitt Romney running for any office. Most of us on FR are sick & tired of Romney and just ignore anything about him.

Well, it's possible that a Mitt run could be good news, in that he and Jeb might split the establishment/moderate GOP vote, and let a conservative candidate move into the lead.

That's a "glass half full" take, granted. But I try to be optimistic.

When Reagan won the GOP nomination, he won 44 states and defeated Carter.

When Romney won the GOP nomination, he lost to Jimmy Carter’s second term, an election that republicans couldn’t lose.

Either way, it is OK for FR to continue to discuss the man, somee here have been trying to discourage that, largely by pretending that he was no longer relevant.

"Nixon is the only party nominee that comes to mind who lost, then later won the Presidency.

You are more so right than you even know. Mittens fancies there's a gap between Jebbb and Cruz where he can introduce a faux Nixon II "Law & Order" campaign.

Shame you limited yourself to Dumb and Dumber all those times; there was plenty a field that might not have required the clothes pin to stifle the gag reflex.

Continually surprised that, from a group of free market thinkers (where more choices are better), that a 2 party cartel is the way to go.

Blows my mind, the almost non-existent bloviation that is allowed called ‘debates’ or the limited/re-hashed ideas from these re-treads and reprobates...C’est la vie. Course, I understand the media has much to do with the way things are, being the 5th column in the march to Socialism.

At least ONE good thing re: not being able to have kids: I won’t have to have them subjected to the slavery that’s soon to come.
