DAYTON, OHIO - Mitt Romney ambled through the exhibits at the InfoTech 2010 conference here the other day, shaking hands, posing for photos, sneaking an occasional chocolate turtle and, ever the salesman, promoting the candidacy of yet another Republican candidate.
On this trip, he was stumping for Rob Portman, the Republican Senate candidate who is heavily favored to win his race Tuesday. Romney was self-effacing as he moved along the rows of exhibits. "This is Rob Portman, he's running for Senate," he said as he introduced the former congressman to a group at one exhibit. "I'd love for you to vote for him."
All talk of a 2012 presidential candidacy was brushed aside. "I haven't made that decision," he said to one person who inquired about his plans. "I'm just working for this guy [Portman]. Let's get this guy in."
That's been the Romney way this fall. Head down, low profile, tending to the business of deepening relationships in a Republican Party that turned aside his bid for the presidential nomination in 2008. While other potential GOP presidential candidates have sought or drawn attention this fall, Romney seemingly has done the opposite.
He has campaigned in 25 states since the summer, according to a list prepared by his staff. Just recently, he crossed the million-dollar mark in money contributed to other campaigns and candidates from his political action committee. The money has gone to 21 gubernatorial candidates, 25 Senate candidates, more than 200 House candidates and a slew of people running for state legislatures....

We’re getting ready for Romney too: Ready to reject him.
And take Boehner with you!!
And if the Washington Post likes him, that is precisely why we need to stay as far away from him as we can.
Funny though, it never ceases to amaze me how the liberals fawn over certain Republicans right up until the moment they get the nomination — and then the knives come out.
They KNOW Romney would be an easy target to take down — so naturally they want him to the the pubbie nominee.
Ready for what?
Agreed. None of these usetawuz’s is electable. If the GOP nominated any of them, WE ARE DOOMED TO ANOTHER FOUR YEARS OF DUMBO!
He still has Rove’s “where else are they going to go?” attitude. Forget about it, Romney.
“I haven’t made that decision,”
Hope the people make that decision for him and shitcan him!
I still remember people passing out pamphlets outside my polling place saying that Bob Dole was the most electable candidate diuring the 1996 primaries. This would be deja vu.
No barf alert?
getting ready to be dissapointed again is he? practicing his concession speech perhaps? Maybe going over his various excuses for being a draft dodging, chickenhawk, pseudoconservative from the worst liberal state in America? Better you here it now from us than from our enemy later Mitt. Better for us that is.
lol....Screw you, Romney.
Romney is scary... sneaky.. a carrier..
I’d rather have Hillary. At least she’ll stab you in the heart, not the back.
Mitt is so YESTERDAY!! SAVE YOUR MONEY, MITT!
Let’s get this straight, we are sick of business as usual, and particularly of the limp wristed, GOP establishment. So who does the Compost come a pimping for? The one candidate who represents all of the above.
