SALT LAKE CITY There are new hints that former Utah Olympic leader Mitt Romney is gearing up to announce another run for president.
Politico reported Thursday that Romney aides are telling other Republicans that he expects to launch his campaign in April.
The online news source noted Romney has already taken "another methodical step toward his 2012 run" by stepping down from the Marriott hotel chain board of directors again.
The last time Romney left was before he ran successfully for governor of Massachusetts following the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City. He rejoined the board in January 2009.
Another online news source, RealClearPolitics, posted later Thursday that Romney has also hired both a pollster and a political director, citing sources connected to his 2008 presidential bid.
Romney spokesman Eric Fehrnstrom had little to say.
"Gov. Romney believes the campaign got started too soon last time, and he's in no hurry to make an announcement of his plans," Fehrnstrom told the Deseret News.

Well. I guess it is up to us to tell as many GOP'ers we know anything that will turn them off on this dill weed. I dissuaded an animal lover friend of mine by telling her about the time Myth put Seamus the dog on the roof of his Caprice wagon to drive him around on vacation. I told her to check it out for herself because she thought I made it up. She is voting GOP, but not Romney. We need to swift-boat this shifty bastard early in the primaries to get the money to go to Consevatives with a chance.

The world would be a much better place if Romney were to announce that he wanted a leadership post in some Jaycee outfit home based in Massachusetts.

Why does this guy think he should run as POTUS? What can he possibly do for us? Romneycare? It’s already been done. He must be as big of a narcissistic fool as the one.

On the plus side he might bow out by June. So, we have that going for us, which is nice.

BTW, back in my yute, I was a big Neil Young fan. Cowgirl in the Sand is one of his songs I still like. But I haven’t played any of his music in 20+ years.

I’ll still crank that stuff up if I hear it on the radio, but my tolerance for hippie music is limited these days. Though I still love Jethro Tull, the Kinks, the Stones and a small handful of other bands from that era.

He’ll get lots of love from the Tea Partiers and the rest of the conservative base.
