I think Mitch is merely spouting what he thinks he needs to presidentially spout to not be treated like Sarah Palin by the DC Rinocratic Oligarchs....that’s what I think.
He still thinks their opinion makes a difference.
I think Sen. Lugar was praising Mitch recently and wanted him to run for president as well as many Bush-ites.....I truly believe that the establishment wants Romney to be the guy but that they don’t believe he’s “got it” to win even with their help.....then it’s Newt somewhat and if they can’t then they will push Daniels
