Is Mitt Romney getting all the pieces together for another run at the White House?

What seems to many as a forgone conclusion may soon become a reality, with the announcement of Matt Rhoades as executive director for Romney's Free and Strong America PAC.

According to an article in Politico, Rhoades, who has served on other presidential campaigns and at the Republican National Committee was communications director for Romney's 2008 run.

With the upcoming release and tour for Romney's new book No Apology: The Case for American Greatness, Romney's 2012 intentions may be one of the worst kept secrets in the country. Incidentally, Romney's book tour will make stops in several key primary states. One tour stop that doesn't fit into the "key" primary category will be Utah, where the former Massachussetts governor and 2002 Winter Olympics leader will visit in March.

I thought a news site was supposed to report news. Reporting that Romney is running for President in 2012 is like having a newsflash saying the sky is blue.

Rommney’s running, you can bet the bank. He will have a few advantages: support of GOP establishment, Big campaign budget, and favorable early primaries.

He will not have the support of Conservatives. It will be interesting to see how the grassroots vs. establishment fairs.

I’m not looking to debate you on Romney, but I’d be interested in knowing why you classify him as a”RINO.” Do you have litmus tests, or are you interested in fielding the best candidate?

[Lucky9teen]

Must like to waste money....I'd never vote for him.

NO MORE RINOS!!!

Better yet...

NO MORE PROGRESSIVES

Please Lord no, a thousand times no.

[Cletus.D.Yokel]

You forgot to put “Romney” between the two....

Yup, typical MSM M.O. Prop up the RINOs until they get the nomination and BAM, hit em hard....

[Opinionated Blowhard]

I hear Version 3 is going back to being liberal on social issues and focusing on fiscal conservatism. A man for all seasons! So far the GOP field is not exciting me.

All you have to do is look at political record when he was governor.

Romney's new book No Apology: The Case for American Greatness

Romney wrote this like JFK was the "author" of Profiles in Courage.

[Keith Brown]

Romney is for gun control

And he made slaves of the citizens of massachusetts to the insurance industry.

Is that enough?

[AmericanArchConservative]

Hey - come on now! Where do you get off being so nice to “Mittens” anyway - sharpen it up a little!

(joking)

Like more than a handful of deluded FReeper trolls care about anything that this backstabbing, squishy, linguini-spined sleaze-monger does.

Why doesn’t “mittens” just take a rocket ride to planet Kolob, and co-rule with L. Ron Hubbard...LOL

One can only hope the the GOP (Goofy Old People) will not fall back on their tried and true formula for failure and anoint another guy whose “Turn it Is” like Dole and McCain.

News would be if he announce he was running as a Democrat, where he belongs.
