While he remains publicly coy about the possibility of another White House bid, Mitt Romney has a calendar that tells a very different story.
From returning to a key early primary state to delivering an address before a social conservative conference and reuniting with members of his campaign-in-waiting, Romney is scheduled to spend a good deal of his September in a fashion befitting a man very much interested in running for president.
snip............................
On Saturday, Sept. 19, Romney will speak at the Values Voters Summit, an annual conference in the capital, put on by the Family Research Council, that frequently draws GOP presidential hopefuls.
snip.............
First, on Thursday night, Romney is holding a $1,000-per-person fundraiser at a trendy Washington restaurant. Co-hosts include a number of Romney stalwarts such as former campaign counsel Ben Ginsberg and high-powered lobbyists Ron Kaufman, Drew Maloney, Al Cardenas and Jack Gerard.

Later that night, Romney is scheduled to rejoin scores of his former campaign aides for a low-dollar Sundaes With Mitt event, at which hes expected to dish out ice cream alongside some special guest scoopers.

Mitt, don’t waste your time or my time. It ain’t gonna happen for ya.
I wish he, and all of the others who were liberals until just recently, would just leave! People like him, McCain, and Bushes have ruined our party and are responsible for the president we have now.

Further proof, as if any was needed, that neither the word "values" or the organization known as "Family Research Council" stand for anything whatsoever.
If Romney wants to be considered as a VP candidate, for Sarah, then Romney needs to help Republicans take back Congress -—
If he is a player, in that regard, I will listen to him, maybe.
NO!
Personally, I don't think Americans are going to be in the mood for a "moderate" this time around. We've had our fill of "moderates". The next president is going to have one hell of a rebuilding project ahead of him/her. A "moderate" won't cut it.
NEVER.
The math was that McCain was going to win. Basically the Huckster voters in West Virginia did him in. I think he would have been a stronger candidate than McCain but obviously a lot of posters here feel McCain is stronger and want Mitt to go away.
he posed as a conservative and fooled a lot of people. That’s what’s scary. Those that voted for rudy or mccain knew what they were getting into.
He makes my skin crawl “Exactly like Clinton”.
Yet another reason to join Sarah's campaign to help her kick Obama and Romney square in the nads come the November 2012 election. And if Obama's been forced to resign by then, reserve line-up players Biden, Byrd or Hillary will also meet with a well-placed scrotum kick with Sarah's size 7 snow boots.

Ha, ha. And Sarah will be addressing investors in China in a high-power conference. Meanwhile he’ll be scooping ice-cream.
We need a ruthless SOB, I will settle for nothing less.
i think Huckabee would’ve been stronger than mccain or romney. McCain really blew it when he played games with the debate only to come back saying he was for the bailout after all. Huck would have opposed the bailout and delivered a grand slam. doesn’t mean he would win but at least the gop would be on record for opposing the unpopular bailouts.
We can beat Obama, but not with this guy. When Obamacare is crippling his Presidency, why the heck would we run the architect of a health care plan that isn’t all that different?
If Romney had come out and admitted that Romneycare, as it turned out, has been a failure and that America needs something different, then he might have had a chance. Instead, despite many of his Freeper apologists’ pleas that it was “messed up by the Democrats”, Romney has taken ownership of Massachusetts health care by defending it and giving it an ‘A’.
Now, of all times, is when Republicans need to distinguish themselves from Democrats. Romney simply isn’t the man for the job.
