Yes, this is the genius masterstroke the DC GOP has been waiting for.
You have to hand it to the establishment. They keep trying. So what if Romney is another big government Republican which a large part of the GOP vote couldn’t really support in 2012. The consultants which got paid big time during the 2012 Romney run could get paid again! And if Romney could somehow get the nomination it would be another blow to the libertarian/conservative coalition in the Tea Party. Win/win. Well not for the American people, and probably not for Mitt Romney. But certainly a win for the folks who work in Downtown DC.
Check out what Pat Caddell, legendary pollster and political operative had to say about what happened in 2012. And now the establishment GOP wants to do it all over again?
Romney I am almost sure is a nice guy. He’s probably a capable manager. But he is not anything resembling what this country needs right now. A Romney/Clinton contest would basically pit 2 people with similar views on nearly everything against one another. Both Romney and Clinton are for generally larger government. Both are for a generally activist foreign policy. Both are intimately tied to the banks.
And that is why another Romney candidacy is being floated right now. Very powerful interests want to sew up the presidential race as early as possible. That is why they’ve been pushing Christie (originally) and Jeb, and now Romney.

Too stupid to live.
A more powerful interest says no - his wife.
What?!?!?
But the 1980’s took his foreign policy back.
So I heard.
Can we mercy flush this idiot along with Jebbie and Doughnut boy? Please!
The media is working hard to yet again define our candidates.
No RINOS!!!
The big question is who will they use as a ringer to divide the conservative vote. Is Newtie still available?
That is just what the GOP needs:
The guy who lost to the guy who lost to Obama in 2008, and
the guy who lost to Obama in 2012.
Yeah, right. That is a sure winner — or at least, another also ran in the footnotes of the Annals of Presidential Wannabes.

Stopped reading right there. If the author is stupid enough to think there is ANY coalition between libs and conservatives, he is delusional.
I’d sooner support Mitt, Jeb or Christie than a lib like Paul or worse.
(see tagline)
Bob Dole is tanned, rested and ready.
Look for the conservatives to make a comeback to take back.
Let’s see if Romney is willing to drop the measured lawyerly phrases he seems to prefer and speak plain English.
“Old” Romney: Captain Zero appears to be “misguided”.
“New” Romney: Captain Zero is a TRAITOR!
I won’t hold my breath...
You sure on that. According to accounts of the 2012 race that I read it was Ann and his oldest boy who pushed him into running again.
yeah, let’s just flush ANOTHER election down the dumper...
Romney cannot win!
Indeed. She's got the White House fever!
