Mitt Romney, the AP reports, has stepped down from the board of the Marriott hotel chain, another methodical step toward his 2012 run.

Mitt’s also going to Afghanistan, is he not?

Boy, I’m all excited. Ugh.

He has no right to run. He has shown no leadership in defense of us in the last 2 years

He can only win the primaries with cross-over votes.

Romney has an only slightly better chance of ever being President than that half-crazed squirrel who stole a box of chocolate chip cookies from me a little while back.

The biggest difference being, I'd vote for that sneaky little bastard. Taking off with those cookies was impressive.

What about Donald Trump? He did an interview with Michael Savage where he said that he would make up his mind by June. June because his TV show season will end. If he announced before the show ended, the TV corporation would have to give all candidates two house time same as his show. He said that that isn't going to happen.

And where was this towering pile of jello during the Arizona “Cross-Hairs” incident?

Nowhere to be found as usual.

This so-called “Man” is an utter and complete coward. He is continually shown up by a woman, Sarah Palin, while he hides beneath his desk with his finger in the wind.

Mitt should go take a shi... never mind. Hope he gets some sense and doesn’t run.

Has any Republican come out strongly against cross-over voting in Republican Primaries? If so, with any solid plans for doing away with them?

I have an idea: don't recognize any delegates at the convention from any state in which primaries are open to all voters. Period.

Is this supposed to be news? Mitt Romney is running for President in 2012? We knew that in 2008 after McCain won the primaries and lost the general election...

That is correct. And the GOP is doing --what-- about cross over voting???

We have the same perfect storm as in 2008... early primaries with crossover voting in liberal states, and winner take all primaries which wipe out the candidates who don't have early backing from the MSM.

Romney can win the nomination. Freepers who don't think so are whistling past the graveyard.

I have said before and I will say again that I see a lot more scenarios in which Romney gains the nomination than any other candidate. It’s going to be interesting to see how the first five primaries of January 2012 shake out:

Monday, January 16, 2012: Iowa caucuses

Tuesday, January 24: New Hampshire

Saturday, January 28: Nevada caucuses, South Carolina

Tuesday, January 31: Florida

By Super Tuesday on February 7th the actual top tier in terms of the ability to contend will be determined.

”Romney inches closer …”

Would that be ‘closer to renouncing RomneyCARE’? No.
Would that be ‘closer to renouncing the BIG-DIG coverup? No.
Would that be ‘closer to renouncing his fascism? No.
Would that be ‘closer to reprimanding those on his staff who attacked Gov. Palin? No.
Would that be ‘closer to reprimanding those on his staff who threw Election 2008? No.
Would that be ‘closer to reprimanding those on his staff who threw Election 2010? No.
