Romney has been running for president since he was a sperm.
He is completely without moral compass or guiding principles, except to do anything, say anything, pay anything to get elected president.
He can’t find any ‘runaway’ poll numbers.
Until some actually announce, the polling will stay similar: Top tier — Romney, Palin, Huckabee, Gingrich.
Once they actually start announcing, then the factions will show who the ‘real’ leaders are.

Remember that McCain was running 2nd and 3rd during the early primaries in 2008. Too bad he didn’t drop out early.
Oh he’s going to be on CNN tonight explaining why he is so special.
Huntsman thinks the guy is a flake and I agree.
FUMR
Let me lend a hand.
Go away, Mitt.
We don’t want you nor do we need you.
Doesn't regret RomneyCare!
RUN! Don't run.
RUN! Don't run.
RUN! Don't run.
If he pretends it never happened, I won't.
The most efficient way the GOP can hand a second term to Obama is to pick someone other than Palin for the GOP candidate.
"I'm not running as the Republican view or a continuation of Republican values.
That's not what brings me to the race.
(Romney Video, accessed 9/19/07)
"We don't intend to turn the Republican Party
over to the traitors in the battle just ended.
We will have no more of those candidates who are pledged
to the same goals as our opposition and who seek our support.
Turning the Party over to the so-called moderates
wouldnt make any sense at all.""
-- President Ronald Reagan
"I'm very clear I think, to the people across the Commonwealth
my "R" didn't stand so much for Republican as it does for reform."
(Romney Video, accessed 9/19/07)
"A political party cannot be all things to all people.
It must represent certain fundamental beliefs
which must not be compromised to political expediency
or simply to swell its numbers."
-- President Ronald Reagan

Where’s Romney on support of the TEA Party?
Where’s Romney on fighting against Obamacare?
Where’s Romney on anything that is affecting the country right now?
He’s invisible. He’s Capt. Neutral-ground. He’s a reach across the aisle and get screwed again type. He’s jello. He’s politically androgenous.
He’s got to go back to whatever the heck he does with his days.
It's February 2011 folks. There's still too much to do before you announce your candidacy and thus restrict yourself in some of the tv appearances and other things one does at this stage in the race. That's why nobody smart is announcing yet that they are running, Sarah included.
I'm no Romney supporter but bashing him over this is a little childish. There's a reason none of the legit contenders have declared yet and so they're all playing this "haven't decided yet" game and lying through their teeth about it.
If you're NOT planning on getting in at this point, they probably are sitting out. But if you ARE planning to get it, now is not the time to make it official.
That’s the most laughbale headline I’ve seen today!

May he stay that way forever!
He’d gain a lot of respect if he dropped out. A lot is made of how conservatives need fall in line for the good of the party. Could you imagine if Romney and Huckabee stayed out and endorse Palin? There would be instant unity plus they’d both end up better off politically in the end. I’d sure look at them differently. No one is talking about it but Romney is the one who has failed to do what he needed to do to gain credibility as a conservative. Unlike McCain, Romney has not said he was wrong on MA Romneycare and now it is too late to even seem credible renouncing it now.
His only remote chance at ever being President is to get there via the VP slot like George H Bush under Reagan.
I really doubt though he has the capability to face the facts. He was the best funded candidate of 2008, he had early leads which evaporated and then lost to John McCain.
Nothing has changed and he has did nothing to improve his profile among primary voters. Any leads he has now in primary polling are empty because right now interest is low and as it increases his numbers will decrease in most places.
The candidate that has most improved his standing I believe is Huckabee.I hope he stays out and throws his support to Palin provided she runs. If that happens Palin will be the nominee without much of a fight.
He should stay out: we don’t want any more RINO’S!
Ummm, Mitt, there’s already a candidate in—at least as far as with an exploratory committee—who has extensive private sector experience. Mr. Cain has that well covered.
Of course, Mitt would probably further clarify that as wanting to see someone in with both private sector and gubernatorial experience, to which I say, Governor Palin, step on down!
All this campaign coyness is rather tedious.
Spoiler Romney OWES it to his wife to give up and go away.
Romney should stop abusing her (and his dog and the GOP).
