BOSTON, Aug. 30 (UPI) -- Republican former U.S. presidential hopeful Mitt Romney is quietly raising millions of dollars as he prepares for the 2012 campaign, analysts say.

Observers say that since he lost the GOP presidential primaries last year, the former Massachusetts governor has shown his usual competitiveness and discipline in keeping his presidential aspirations in play, The Boston Globe reported Sunday.

"He lost a tough race," New Hampshire state Sen. Jeb Bradley, a Republican former member of the U.S. House, told the newspaper. "After that, Mitt could have done anything he wanted with his life: back to the non-profit world or start a new business. But what has he been doing? He's kept at it. He's been busting his butt since losing more than anyone I have ever seen."

No support of the grassroots = no way in Hell of winning dogcatcher.

The Mittwits could cost the us the 2012 election

[Tennessee Nana]

Tell Romney to round up those 5 loser sons of hios and march them down to the recruiters...

have them do something worthwhile and for their country for once...

Romney is much too old himself to serve ..

Too old ??? oh yes thats right he is ...

Did he ever do ANYTHING worthwhile or for his country ???

Nope...No track record.,..No experience...

No thanks Romney...Try the other Party...

What in thunder does “Mitt” stand for, anyhow? Is it short for “Mittwoch”?;)

And in this rapidly evolving politically Bizzaro World, I think of Barney Frank's: "What Planet (is Romney) living on?"

Massachusetts intellectuals don’t fly east of the Mississippi or south of the Mason/Dixon. When are the dummies going to catch on to this?

[MamaB]

Baloney. Why would conservatives support a liberal like Mitt?

Huh?

They wouldn’t. They would rather have McCain.
That was the problem.
In search of “perfection,” the settled for the bottom of the barrel.

That is ridiculous, he did so poorly in the primary for the same reason that he has only won one election and then couldn't win reelection because his poll numbers were so low.

People don't like Mitt Romney and they really don't trust him.

Gee that’s too bad.
So they piciked McCain,
Someone they really liked and trusted.

Get real - Mitt would have been toast in the general even if he would have won the nomination. The Dems would have had a field day splicing up his YouTube clips.

[broncobilly]

The counter could have been splicing up Obama’s YouTube clips.
Instead we had a candidate with Sockholm Syndrom. Capitulation in the face of agression. Too obsessed with reaching across the aisle to fight back.
At least we might have had a fighter.

[MamaB]

No, we would not have rather have John. He was just as bad. Before Sarah came aboard, I was planning to write in Gen. Ben Raines.

[MamaB]

If you are talking about Mitt, he is a liberal and no conservative should have supported him.

Tea. That would have helped.
