....But there are a bevy of reasons that Romney would stand to perform well- and perhaps even win- in the race for the Republican nomination. Here are just five:

Republicans Tend to Nominate People Who’ve Run for President Before.

With the exception of George W. Bush, Republicans tend to favor candidates who’ve sought the nomination at least once before: John McCain (won in ‘08, lost in ‘00), Bob Dole (won in ‘96, lost in ‘80), George H.W. Bush ........

[Leisler]

Lots of leftys looking at Mitt as the next Bob Dole.

80 or so comments at dailykos. Insight to hard lefty look at the RNC/GOP vis a vis Mitt.

Mitt RINO

Any pro-Mitt RINO freeper want to tangle?

The only reason to watch Mitt Romney is to make sure he doesn’t ruin Sarah Palin.

MiTT...smart as Hell, without a sordid past,good looking as all get out, and presidential....just dont have him sing in the ghetto! Mitt the man with the plan!

[wagglebee]

The left loves the idea of Myth being the nominee because they know that many conservatives will stay home.

What do these men have in common- two political losers and one, one-term RINO who couldn't win re-election against a Ma and Pa Kettle Horn Dog. No wonder the libs want Romney.

I would take Glenn Beck over Romney any day of the week....

[cripplecreek]

I don’t want him behind me in the dark that’s for sure.

[SWAMPSNIPER]

I’m watching, he still looks like a RINO!

[duckman]

Mitt will be running againt the Huckster again.

[cripplecreek]

I'm way ahead of you.

[Deb]

Wow it took the Romney-hating flying monkeys two minutes to get here. Must be feeding time. You’ve got spunk.

[Servant of the Cross]

Here’s another thread that is a great example of a sympathetic media portrayal of Mitt which gets posted and will be received with scorn by many (most?) at FR. Sarah Palin does not receive puff pieces like this in the media, even by supposedly “conservative” sources.

[Las Vegas Ron]

I’d like to watch him go away

[cranked]

*thumbs up*

Note: I emailed him asking, no pleading with him to consider a 2012 run. Common Sense ftw.

Myth ping

Does anyone not like that he’s a Mormon?

I would take Glenn Beck over Romney any day of the week....

I'd take my local garbage collector over Romney.(See Mass care)
