Complete Headline: The Romney Statement: Not Running. “I’ve decided it is best to give other leaders in the Party the opportunity to become our next nominee.”
I’ve been emailed this text of remarks Mitt Romney will be making to his supporters shortly:
Let me begin by letting you know who else is on this call, besides Ann and me. There are a large number of people who signed on to be leaders of our 2016 finance effort. In addition, state political leadership from several of the early primary states are on the line. And here in New York City, and on the phone, are people who have been helping me think through how to build a new team, as well as supporters from the past who have all been kind enough to volunteer their time during this deliberation stage. Welcome, and thank you. Your loyalty and friendship, and your desire to see the country with new, competent and conservative leadership warms my heart.
After putting considerable thought into making another run for president, I’ve decided it is best to give other leaders in the Party the opportunity to become our next nominee.

What happened, Mitt? Did your trial balloons turn out to be filled with lead?
I refer to it now as the Democratic Wing of the Uniparty.
Me thinks that the RINO establishment, which no longer represents either the sovereignty or interests of the United States of America, has decided that rather than see donor money wasted on a Romney - Bush fight, they will hand pick another Bush.
This is excellent news. Mitt Romney is a very good man in terms of character and integrity, and a blessing to any company he runs. But he’s too liberal to be a good president. I’m glad he’s not going to put himself through another campaign.
Jeb and Mitt recently had a private meeting. I doubt it was the offer of money that changed Mitt’s mind.
Yeah, Right.
Yeah, Right.
Yeah, Right.
Translation: the RNC higher-ups told me that it's Jeb's turn, and who am I to stand in the way of the coronation of another member of the Bush Dynasty.
Meh.
Efff Romney and Efff JEB too
NO MORE CLINTONS
NO MORE BUSHES
Jeb and Mitt recently had a private meeting.
And the next morning, Mitt found a horse head in his bed.
