In an announcement as obvious as hearing that the sun rose in the east this morning, Mitt Romney let America know that he’s running for the US Senate seat being vacated by a man who attended the signing of the Declaration of Independence. Okay, not really, but he is a poster child for term limits after “serving” in Washington longer than any Republican in history.
Mitt’s decision to run has been a given since Hatch announced his retirement last month, which followed months of talk between the two about how to conduct Operation Switcheroo in a way where it wouldn’t be seen as political nepotism. They failed miserably.
The Mitch McConnell-led GOP establishment is nearly orgasmic over the prospects of having the Massachusetts liberal—who tried to convince America that he was “severely conservative” during his 2012 campaign for president—join the swamp. However, there are those who are none too happy about Romney’s carpetbagger campaign including Utah GOP Chairman Rob Anderson.
“I think he’s keeping out candidates that I think would be a better fit for Utah because, let’s face it, Mitt Romney doesn’t live here, his kids weren’t born here, he doesn’t shop here,” Anderson said in an interview with the Salt Lake Tribune.

That's what liberal republicans live for, work for, and bend over backwards for - to keep conservatives from positions of power and influence - whatever it takes!
Mittens= the New Mcstain
All that money and no hobbies for retirement. I guess running for political office is his hobby.
Utah’s own! I mean Massachusetts’ own! Or something.
the new McShame
and it is a crying shame if the good people of Utah elect this man, after he threw the 2012 election, imho, and especially after he made such a complete ass of himself in 2016. he is a terrible embarrassment
The man obviously has no life.
Recycled mannequin.
This guy is a disaster and a walking hypocrite. I wish he would go away. You know, I am not the biggest social conservative out in this big old world and most on here would call me a RINO, but I just can’t stand this guy. He should have easily defeated “the one”. Please go away.
is there any chance a real republican will stop this punk?
I am deeply disappointed with Mormons that support Myth Romney simply because he is Mormon.
He’s a fraud and a liberal.
It would be like me supporting Bernie Sanders because he is (nominally) Jewish. Stupid.
The Rat should let his wife run. (wrong universe)
In Mr. Romneycare’s universe,
all women must stay in binders,
all children must share showers and baths,
all dogs must ride on roofs,
everyone must have RomneyCARE
[except the EXEMPT, of course]
and anything that Ratman Willard deems
must be obeyed.
I wonder if keeping a conservative out is the only reason.
More likely, it’s a combination of McCain style vengeance and keeping himself warm for another run at higher office.
I sometimes wonder if Mitt is a Mormon version of Al Gore or the Kennedy’s. Has to keep on running to try to be at the top for reasons that are rooted deeply in family ambitions and image.
Can you picture a Mitt/Hillary grudge match in 2024? Before the debate: “Gentleman and Lady, ready your walkers.”
sorry I really goofed that up, thought it was a hot link.
Awesome! Another open borders, globalist, big government asshole is heading to US Senate.
“The man obviously has no life.”
Yah, and he is 70 years old. He will probably serve one term so he can get the tee shirt.
Mitt has never stopped bragging about the SLC Olympics and his role in them.
His ego is as big as the Great Salt Lake and it’s still bruised from losing to Obama - which is understandable at least - but he made his bed there.
He wants image rehab and he wants it badly. A 6 year Senate term would do nicely.
SO how often does he reside in UT and how often does he reside in MA? There should be some law against this crap.
The fricken RNC better not spend a nickel on this douche
WE NEED to find someone STRONG to run AGAINST him!!!!!
