He'll save himself a painful, expensive loss.
He will lose is he runs, though. He will never consolidate enough support to win.
That won't stop initial rat support from trying to push him over the edge like mclame.
But most people won't fall for that crap again.
From what I’ve seen Romney, Huckabee, Palin and Gingrich are getting 10-20% in polling and then everyone else lags behind in single digits. I think Romney supporters probably go for Gingrich if he runs. My bet is you’ll see a tea party person and an establishment figure emerge and those two will battle it out. The key is can someone out there appeal to the establishment and the tea party crowd. Also, I would say which republican has a characteristic that independents see lacking in the current president. Americans tend to go for a person who has a characteristic they see lacking in the current president.
While nearly anyone is better than Emperor Obummus the First, I have vowed to never again hold my nose and vote RINO. If the party is dead set on it being Romney’s turn, I’ll look elsewhere and will likely never look back. I’ve been a Republican ever since I was old enough to vote (many moons ago), but I just simply cannot tollerate the statist BS anymore. If republican principles mean nothing to the point the elected officials just throw them out the window as soon as the election is over then there isn’t anything left in the party that I agree with.
“What if Romney decides not to run?”
I’ll be relieved and happy.
“What If Romney Decides Not to Run”.....
...we may have a shot at a real conservative for President?
...we won’t have our own Obamacare (Masscare) guy to vote for?
...perhaps the GOP will have realized shoving RINOs in our faces aren’t going to get them elected?
What’s the author looking for, really?
He would save a lot of money
