Mitt Romney says publicly he’s not considering another presidential campaign, most recently on Sunday during an appearance on NBC’s “Meet the Press.” But many of his loyalists expect one and remain at the ready for 2012.
When dozens of former Romney aides and advisers convened on the terrace of Charlie Spies’ fashionable Penn Quarter loft earlier this year on a warm February night, the purpose was ostensibly to help raise money for the Virginia state House race of Romney strategist Barbara Comstock.
But Spies, formerly the Romney campaign’s CFO, wasn’t just hosting a $100 per-head fundraiser. He was also staging a Romney political family reunion, as advertised by his e-mail invitation subject line, “The Romney gang back together,” and the special $50 cut-rate fee for former campaign staffers meant to draw some of the junior aides.
The buzz that night was unmistakable among the 80 or so former Romney operatives present.

that’s fine, mitt, because i’m not considering you either.
I voted for him once but never again. He withdrew way too early last year then he took a shot at our gal Sarah not long ago. Go scratch yourself Mitt.
Hey Mitt, how’s that health care work’in in Mass?
I prefered Mitt over McCain but after seeing how his people behaved after the election there’s no way in hell I’ll vote for him.
Romney would lose...he’s been on most sides of most issues...for abortion while Governor of Taxachusetts...against it when running for POTUS.
Besides, the media would never, ever, allow a Mormon in the White House.
No! Go away you greasy, used car salesman RINO.
Have you noticed that when the Republican beltway pundits talk about candidates for 2012, they purposefully leave out Sarah? An obvious dismissal. That will not discourage her supporters, however, and there will be a reckoning when they will have no choice but to once again speak her name.

Shopuldn’t the primary process be fixed so that the rest of us can have our say. We need to avoid what happened in 08 which gave us McCain. Does anyone know what’s going on with this?
He’s not a candidate that I’m interested in.
Romney and Sanford can run on the Narcissistic Disorder ticket
Mitt who?
Just say “NO!”
SARAH!
Oh, how I wish this self-centered RINO would just go away.
Mitt Romney does not scratch himself.
He has people for that.
And he'll have you know that they're patriots, bravely serving their country, just like his sons do when they rode around in the Mitt-Mobile, campaigning for their dad, staying in hotels, eating hot meals, etc.
Before any starstruck Mittsters jump in to say that wasn't what he meant, the woman who asked him the question that elicited his response says different, and she was there.
Romney: Sons Serve Country By Campaigning (^)
He thinks that his Winnebago-riding offspring are somehow equal to the proud men and women who have served our nation with honor? He needs to think again.
I will never vote for Romney. EVER.
I hope against all hope I get the chance to vote for Romney and vote out Obama!
