Other potential 2012 candidates will have trouble making as compelling a case for the nomination. Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal is still very young and may not even run. Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee will never gain support from fiscal conservatives. Palin has too many detractors within the party. Romney, however, has already answered the tough questions from the GOP skeptics. He is less likely to face questions about his abortion stance, as he did in 2008, or to feel compelled to address his Mormon faith. In fact, Obamas election should help Romney in that regard by negating identity questions that might have been factors before Americans elected a black man to the highest office.

I like Romney.
I know, he is not perfect Reagan was not either. He signed the first no-fault divorce law (as governor of CA) and he supported amnesty. However, the pros outweighed the cons by far.

Romney, because McCain wasn’t enough.
Oh, yea, everybody will rush out to the Romney rallies.

LOL. I've got a few issues with her but she stands head and shoulders above any other names I'm hearing.

Palin has too many detractors within the party. Wonder if this is true or just wishful thinking on the part of the reporter?

There are major problems with Romney, starting with his failure to protect life or marriage as governor of Massachusetts.
Romneycare lets everyone get an abortion for 50 bucks, with a taxpayer subsidy. And there is a special position on the board for a representative of Planned Parenthood.
Moreover, the Mass. Supreme Court decreed that the legislature had to pass gay marriage. But the legislature never did. It was Romney who ordered every justice of the peace either to perform gay marriages or quit their jobs. That was totally uncalled for.
Romney had a ton of money and publicity in the last primary contest, but he was unable to break out of the pack. The reason is that real conservatives don’t trust him—and rightly so.
By the way, Politico supported him last time around, and Politico is slanted way to the left.

Romney, however, has already answered the tough questions from the GOP skeptics.Oh BS. No more years of the RINO. He can take his liberal arse and shove it with the rest of the RINOs.
He is less likely to face questions about his abortion stance, as he did in 2008,
And double BS on that. He is actively and financially supporting the unequivocally pro-abortion Meg Whitman for governor of California.
Mitt needs to go away and take the rest of the liberal trash with him.

Read my lips too. NO MORE RINOS.... We are sick of our rat politicians. They are having a field day throwing America to the dogs. We need leaders; not RINOS.

I appreciate that Romney supported Michelle Bachmann when the party would not and I love that he has sent money from his PAC to people who have been against porkulus, but I'm not interested in him as a nominee. Especially not if Politico is pushing the idea.

Thanks but no Thanks, this guy is a RINO through and through and I will under no circumstances support another RINO for President.
It's time to see that the Republican Establishment, or what passes for it, hates Conservatism and we may need to form a new party.
To: Bratch
Romney is a RINO and the money behind the RNC will be on him. I ain’t gonna get railroaded into someone I can’t be comfortable with like they did with McCain. I’m tired of losers.
My vote goes for a Palin ticket.
