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.

With Christie hobbled, Jeb Bush’s lukewarm reception, Establishment GOP floats another Romney run?
Calling Harold Stassen!
People need to emphatically reject a Romney nominee
This is like saying that since the guillotine is passe and the electric chair doesn’t work, the GOP is considering the firing squad.
I sometimes think the GOP are cowardly masterminds plotting and scheming to prop up big donors, to shore up their power and their friends’. But I don’t think mastermind is the right word. Tone deaf is more like it. They’re completely out of touch. If you put them in a room with 100 people, they’d most likely be the stupidest.
Dole-McCain 2012
“Rested & Ready”
Good question. It'll have to be another faux Conservative like Ryan. Of course, he's damaged goods, now that his sheen has worn off with all of the amnesty work. Paul Jr.?
Nixon Now!
He is, I heard his slurred speech every day on the radio endorsing an establishment candidate in the recent primary.
You mean the guy that FR supported is the bad guy? Why not Romney’s actual ringer, Rick Santorum?
Paul is too liberal and very much like Mitt Romney is his dishonesty and shape shifting.
All four, without a question. Jeb Bush will be the nominee. Elizabeth Warren will be president. CWII will be brutal.
Nothing changes if nothing changes.
Let’s face it, Sanatorium and Newt were only running so Mitt would be the one to lose to Obama.
People don’t realize that Ann was the first politician, she held elective office before Mitt.
The reports I read said he bribed her into letting him run by tearing down their mansion in La Jolla and letting her build a bigger mansion.
Have we considered a conservative?
Dole McCain
A Pineapple..and a Road Apple!
Absolutely.
Let’s support Bishop Romney.
Marriage to Animals, this time, Mitt?
