Why all of the speculation when he has repeatedly stated he isn’t running?

My guess is that it's because Romney's whole M.O. has been to say one thing and do or say another, his word means zip.

[Romney]’s a complete fraud and the voters see right through him.

Amen.

I agree, but he would be better than the kenyan; of course ANYONE would.

Of course the guy had to zing Governor Palin. Libs love to tell us how inconsequential she is because of the money they get off the resulting website hits.

IMO, money is also the reason Romney remains attractive to the Establishment. His network of high volume donors makes him a fundraising dynamo. Which results in overflowing coffers for the Party.

It always about the Benjamins.

The high donor class is obsessed with Mitt. They think he is out of central casting to be president. The problem is that he’s a weak candidate because people do not trust him. The donor class does not understand or accept that. Because Mitt was “right” about what he said against Obama, they think he can no win. No he can’t. He proved that twice.

Look at RCP polls on the GOP nomination, and you’ll see the conservative vote currently being divided among several potential candidates. Otherwise, Jeb Bush and Chris Christie wouldn’t look nearly as strong.

If divided the poll results between moderates and conservatives as a group, you would see that those on more to the right, collectively, are getting about 60% of the vote. Based on that, once the field narrows, I can not imagine someone like Jeb Bush, Chris Christie, or Mitt Romney getting the nomination this time.

14 is Biblical, read your Bible. The number always comes up in my life and Romney can run again. You people don’t know everything. You could be wrong. But Lord forbid when any of you ever admit that? And what is it that you hate about him so much again? People who make up stupid rules about what can and can’t be done are just stupid. Don’t ever tell God no. With him, anything is possible, including the fact that you are all wrong.

Say what you will about Palin, but she sure is making a killing off of her service in politics. In fact, it’s where the majority of her wealth comes from. Romney by contrast, hasn’t taken one dirty, rotten cent from his time in service. Who’s the real servant? By a person you know their fruits. And all I see from Palin is the fact that she makes a whole bunch of money from her “service.” Time to post those propoganda style pictures now of Romney that have been doctored to make sure you keep people hating him. Where’s the one where he looks like a used car salesman with the gold tooth? Think about what you people are doing. What this shows is that people on this site have messed up priorities. It’s never ok to lie about someone or to try and build hatred against another person. If you have the truth on your side then why all the fake, doctored pictures of Rommey slandering his character. Shouldn’t your words be enough? Think about it. And also consider, propoganda is an art that Hitler perfected. I woulnd’t be using ANY of his tools!

Actually I was complimenting Governor Romney’s fund-raising acumen.

He’s spent years networking and developing political contacts throughout the country. It’s what makes him (to the GOPe) an attractive and formidable opponent.

As for Governor Palin, she nearly went bankrupt as a result of her service to the Republican party and, AFAIK, not one person in the GOP establishment tried to help her while she was getting buried under frivolous ethics charges.

I have no problem with her using her notoriety to generate income. IMO, no fair-minded person should either.

The rumor that the GOP it’s grand old self will become extinct is even more persistent, and more popular as well! :-)
