His support of Whitman could aid ambitions.

BY SASHA ISSENBERG

WASHINGTON - From a Lexington office complex, Mitt Romney's political action committee has ensured the former presidential candidate's omnipresence on cable news shows, Republican rally stages, and antistimulus T-shirts, the last available with a $50 contribution to his Free and Strong America PAC.

But for the next year and a half, the center of Romney's political universe will shift west to Sacramento, where key parts of his operation have reassembled on behalf of Meg Whitman, a longtime friend and former business colleague who this month entered next year's Republican primary to become the governor of California.

The former eBay CEO is still readying her headquarters, but it has already become something of a campaign-in-exile for Romney's ambitions, which could include another presidential run in 2012. His leading fund-raisers and top aides, including one known as the former Massachusetts governor's "sixth son," have already signed on with Whitman. Today Romney will appear with Whitman at the state Republican convention, where he is expected to endorse her.

In Slick Willard’s case, I don’t think that denotes naivete, I think it is willfully deliberate. As long as one understands the man is a left-winger and pathological liar always misrepresenting his true intentions, it makes it very easy to figure him out. He’d make a perfect member of the new regime.

Not only a perfect member but it may explain why some of TeamROMNEY helped Obama win
and continue to attack the GOP now for Obama.

"Romney supporter turned Obama man Douglas Kmiec indulged in quite a litany of name-calling,
finger pointing and demagoguery against the GOP that would have been amazing from the same man only one year ago."

"Kmiec was named by Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney
to head the Romney for President Committee on the Courts and the Constitution in 2007."

"Someone's got to say it: IS MITT ROMNEY RESPONSIBLE FOR OBAMA'S VICTORY?"

True... you nailed it... but Bill Bennett knows better... he is not what he wants people to believe he is. He is just another "moderate".

Maybe Bennett is just retreating to his Democrat roots.

[Impy]

Why isn’t true conservative Myth Romney trying to find a conservative to run for California Governor?

[LibLieSlayer]

Pretty much the way that it is... once again you nailed it.

Funny, I don’t ever recall (that liberal) being a candidate for a position to be voted on... perhaps you do?
