All of you former Right Up Front readers know of my undying affection and unyielding loyalty to Mitt Romney. Indeed, he is my first choice for the nomination in 2012. Now it looks like the Stormin' Mormon may be testing the waters for an encore run at the GOP knod. Politico's Jonathan Martin has the details.
After a few stops in some early primary states and lavish fundraiser at a "trendy" Washington eatery, there are many reasons for any former Romney fan to be hopeful. And who better to go up against a now-obviously undisciplined current White House resident than the uber-disciplined, results oriented former businessman and governor?
Lucky for those of us squarely in the Mitt camp, it appears we're in good company. In March, he won the CPAC presidential preference straw poll for the third year in a row...

I hope Romney does run,,,he could beat Obama.
Much as I like Sarah Palin, I really don’t think she could beat Obama in 2012. Someone with more experience is more apt to succeed.

March out the Myth Haters and finger biters....
NO! Take your RINO executive hair and piss off.
Business executives do not necessarily make good presidents and their track record running businesses lately is pretty dismal.
We need someone who understands and will follow the constitution as well as defend it; someone who works in the interest of the people and not on getting reelected; someone who knows how to form a policy team, provide general directions and then approve or disapprove what they come up with based on whether it conforms with his directions, the will of the people and the constitution. I don’t care if he/she spent a lifetime as a plumber, a farmer or any other run of the mill career as long as the republic, the constitution and the people come first in running the administration.
Katy.....you keep your Mitt. I’m tired of him.
We will support SARAH PALIN.
Probably the most successful businessman to ever become president was Herbert Hoover (sure other presidents had been wealthier, but Hoover was completely self-made) and NOBODY would call Hoover a good president.
Harry Truman was a failure as a businessman and by nearly all accounts one of the best presidents of the 20th Century.
Myth RAISED taxes.
Create wealth and jobs through productive economic activity?
The ENTIRE country (except for Michigan) experienced economic growth during the time Myth was governor. The growth in Massachusetts was not any different than neighboring states.
The USSR was in charge of American Troops during parts of
the Korean Police Action.
All Military plans were run through the USSR while they
were in charge.
Which led to SEATO and the Vietnam war which the
politicians of both parties were determined not to win.
I agree that Korea was a huge failure on the part of Truman and Eisenhower.
Name one thing he did that helped the USA other than
the Atomic bombs that saved many more lives then the
total of losses from both bombs.
Didn’t he make it mandatory to carry health insurance, whether you wanted to or not, and implement fines for those that don’t carry “approved” insurance? Isn’t the Massachusetts health care situation in the toilet now? Sounds pretty close to Obamacare for me.
We don’t support Socialist liars on FR, hun.
I’d sooner vote for Michael Jackson.
Romney will be too old in 2012..
Ask the MittWitts...
They said FRed was too old in 2008..
and Romney will be older than FRed was...
