As Mitt Romney considers whether to run for an open US Senate seat in Utah, the person who can most influence him is encouraging him to get into the race: his wife, Ann.

Ann Romney — a confidante for nearly all of Romney’s adult life and frequent catalyst for his political ambitions — is fully supporting a campaign for Senate, another strong indicator he will run, according to four people close to the Romneys. Her own battle with multiple sclerosis is not a major factor, with all signs indicating that her health remains strong, the people said.

Well, that’s it then. His wife was the only real obstacle to keep him from being the Senator from Utexico.

Romney’s biggest backers were a who’s who of Wall Street types headed up by Goldman-Sachs.

"Imagine how hard Romney would have to campaign in Utah."

That would give Mr. RomneyCARE much more time
to attack the sitting President, conservatives, and radio amateurs.

I wonder if it was his wife who influenced him to store their pet dog on the roof of his car while on vacation!

She knows how cool it is to be a US Senator in DC where everyone kisses your azz to the max. Senators are at the top of the DC pecking order right after The President. The Senate is a millionaires and billionaires club.

Thus Mitt becomes a Washington DC super being and Ann Romney (a nice person) by osmosis

She undoubtedly wants him out of the house.

QUESTION- Which house?
They own multiple large residential estates.

In which state did the Mittster vote during the last presidential cycle?

Where does he have a driver’s license?

I thought it was the Mormon Counsel of elders, since they pretty much decide who is going to win in Utah...

Hehe, I kind of want Mitt to jump in just to watch the epic smackdown that Trump will lay on him during the debates.

Wonder what nickname Trump will come up with for him?
