Former Governor Mitt Romney has kept a high profile throughout the midterm election season endorsing and fundraising for GOP candidates, an effort that some analysts say has established his position as frontrunner for Republican nomination in 2012. Romney hasn’t escaped President Obama’s attention – and in a CBS “60 Minutes” interview last night, Obama compared his health care plan to Romney’s and practically announced Romney’s candidacy.

Obama weighed the political costs of health care reform and said Republicans didn’t cooperate as much as he had hoped they would.

“I barely heard a peep out of Mitt during the last few months.”

The equivalent of voting “present” on all things.

True dat.

The man is literally a ghost. He only haunts us because he's got pull with the MSM and muckety-mucks in the Republican establishment (insert "Nowhere Man" by the Beatles).

Exactly Obama is basically destroying RINO chances by embracing their candidates. Please compare yourself to more RINOs Osamabama!

Exactly, by nominating someone like Romney the healthcare issue would be neutralized for Republicans.

Then he would be lying. And he has no conservative deds that he could fall back on. He’s ‘sin a mitt’ toast.

Mitt Romney (mother of RomneyCARE and RomneyMarriage):
" I am running so that the healthcare issue
will be neutralized for Republicans.”
