Mitt Romney, the early favorite of many for the GOP presidential nomination in 2012, is making nice with his rivals from the last race.
The former Massachusetts governor, who was the source of much consternation among his opponents during the GOP presidential primaries last year, has made strides to repair those relationships in recent days.
The latest example came Saturday in Romney’s speech to the Mackinac Republican Leadership Conference in Michigan, in which Romney will praise former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani’s (R) effort to clean up New York and suggest Detroit could use a similar program.
“Detroit needs to be given a Giuliani-style shake up,” Romney said, according to excerpts of his prepared remarks. “I hope the new mayor does just that. And Michigan needs to send a clear and resounding message to the world’s employers that Michigan is a good place for business.”
Romney’s gratuitous praise of Giuliani comes just days before 2008 GOP presidential nominee John McCain (R-Ariz.) is set to co-host a fundraiser for Romney’s Free and Strong America political action committee.

None of them represent me!
Romney may yet be useful, but in the service of a leader like Sarah.
Slick Willard serves no one but himself.
Just what we need. Run Romney and we’ll get 4 more years of Obama
What is to barf about. Now is not the time for one Republican to be trashing another. BTW, do you think Rudy did not do a good job cleaning up NYC and that Detroit might not benefit from that example?
The media knows that. Why do you think they want him nominated ?
Slick Willard is not a Republican.
He is the kind of Rep who can win in MA. What would you expect a GOP statewide office holder from MA to be?
Haven’t I had this convo with you before ? Go do some research.
I would’ve taken the guy who dressed in drag over the guy without the birth certificate any day of the week.

The last thing the Republican party — or the nation — needs is another damn RINOcrat.
Not just no — but HELL NO, Mitt!

A non-Socialist. Either offer a Conservative alternative to the Democrats or don't degrade the party and run at all. Of course, thanks to Slick Willard and his Socialist comrades, there's no GOP left in MA, exactly what they wanted.
I think Romney can beat Obama in four years. I think almost anyone can.
Rudy is liberal scum.
So is Romney.
Case closed!
short and sweet and DEAD on...
Only if the left gets totally disillusioned with him and someone rallies the right.
Don’t forget what short memories too many voters have.
