Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney , the Republican presidential nominee in 2012, told a meeting of donors Friday that he is considering another White House bid in 2016, people present said.

A better place for him to “serve” would be running the games; if Boston wins it.

Good for him (he’s a good businessman, albeit a Morman cultic)...let’s fill the field with candidates...and may the best man win!

Perhaps he can serve by dividing the Rockefeller vote with Jeb Bush while five or six candidates beat themselves up again over who is most conservative.

The primary system is very broken in this country. States like California and New York (which the eventual nominee will have zero chance of winning) are among the biggest primary prizes.

If he does run, Romney would join a jam-packed field of potential candidates, including
Sens. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), and Rand Paul (R-Ky.), and Governors Rick
Perry of Texas, Mike Pence of Indiana, John Kasich of Ohio, Scott Walker of Wisconsin, and
Chris Christie of New Jersey. Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush (R), who is also considering a run,
has been the most proactive potential candidate, setting up a leadership PAC and reaching out to
prospective donors should he decide to enter the race.

A crowded GOP field would make wealthy donors a sparse commodity, and Romney’s announcement
could freeze out financial backing for other establishment candidates such as Bush and Christie.

Just you wait until Jon Huntsman throws his hat into the ring. The two have about an equal chance this time around with Bush already declared.

There is an old saying about trying the exactly same thing multiple times and expecting the outcome to one day change.

Good evening.

The First lady and I will not vote for Romney. Or Bush...or Huckabee, or Christie.

We are sooo screwed.

And we found out in 2008 and 2012 that the White House goes to the HIGHEST bidder. Must be why Slick Willie’s wife is trying to round up the BIG bucks.

Won’t stop the Freeper left from using them to help derail conservatives in the primaries. Again.

“Insanity is doing the same thing over and over, and expecting a different result”.

Romney is a NWO diversion, if he runs there is NO WAY to get a Conservative President. We need to really let our voices be known, NOT NO BUT HELL NO to a re run.
