The bet is still open. $100 says Romney changes parties within 4 months.
Ok let’s hear the qualifiers for the bet.
Does he stay a senator and change parties?
Does he decide to move back to Massachusetts or Michigan?
Stay in Utah as a senator and change to a democrat?
No, unfortunately I don’t see a scenario where short of jail-time him doing anything other than what he had done for the last three years, waffle according to the political winds.
Harry Reid’s ability to be a democrat as from the need for him to pander to the union vote in Nevada, no such reasoning exists in Utah.
The only reason Romney would stay in politics is if he intends to pull a Perot and attempt to split the Republicans by becoming an independent, which is an outlie, though he has thrown chances before. Perhaps he had been told to lie upon the sword again.
2024 it’s a way away. By then Utah will either be purple or blue, just like Arizona and perhaps Idaho. Then he may stay on as an Republican or even an independent. The senator he replaced didn’t retire until 84, he is 72, that’s some time left on the clock.
