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.

Someone please call his campaign and advise them to not waste their time and money.
I don’t care if he wastes his time and money as long as he stays in Mass. where he belongs.
Romney voters would happily vote for Hillary if she ran as a republican.
2005 - after saying he was pro-life, Romney answered ‘’yes” to the question, ‘Do you support the substance of the Supreme Court decision in Roe v. Wade?’
“Romney has decided to support experimentation on surplus frozen embryos from in-vitro fertilization procedures.”
- National Review Online 2/11/2005
“Governor Romney has been touring the country in the past few weeks, courting anti-gay right-wingers in South Carolina, Missouri, and Utah with speeches designed to show that he is firmly in their camp. Yet a look at Romney’s record shows that his Rick Santorum drag act is a relatively new phenomenon.”

For gun control.
For minimum wage increases.
Imposes Obamacare on Mass.
Raised “fees” $500 million so he could say he did not raise taxes.
Destroyed the party in Mass.
Need I post more?
gee there’s a shock
i have been saying that he never really stopped running - he kept his campaign organization more or less intact in the form of a PAC, pops his head up on whatever news show will have him and still has deep pockets
all of this being said i really hope someone new and a heck of a lot more conservative is able to run and grab the nomination.
This will be 1980 redux: Reagan vs Bush Sr. It could be a fight to the finish.
Just so this Reagan isn’t stupid enough to pick the Bush Sr. this time around.
You think Slick Willard is the best candidate, huh?
Confirms exactly what I've suspected about you all along...
Wow, thanks for setting me straight.
Romeny care, flip flopping on abortion to name two.
I’m not so sure that Hillary or Obama would not be better. At least then the Liberal agenda would have a Democrat stamp on it.
“Do you have litmus tests, or are you interested in fielding the best candidate?”
Both. The litmus test for 2012 is that the candidate must be a constitutional conservative. In 2012, the litmus test also requires that we nominate the most charismatic candidate, the most gifted politician, and the best leader.
Mitt Romney fails both tests miserably. He is a liberal, spineless weasel, and he has as much charisma as a bowl of Boston clam chowder.
Guess who passes both tests.
Hey, Have you noticed the Romneybots have started a soft campaign here for him? They don’t come out for him. THey just question Palin’s intelligence/experience and ask about litmus tests and who is the best candidate. They cannot come out for him because they will get zotted, so they have to try to undermine Palin and softly suggest him as an alternative. I see the tactic.
Yeah, we’ve noted this tactic, which has been in play for a few month now. A lot of subversive posts being put up by supposed Palin “supporters” these days. It reeks of a deliberate strategy and we’re on to ‘em.
I still think he’s a cyclon.
Have someone play Jimi Hendrix’s version of “All Along The Watchtower” at one of his rallies and let’s see if anything happens.
Judging by the number of sniping whiney posts bashing Sarah Palin, I’d say yes Mitt is running.
Huckabee is a big government soft on crime pseudo conservative. Pawlenty is a big cap and tax supporter who is about as dull as dishwater. These two are not in the same class as Palin. She is such a formidable force that I think she is inevitable if she runs. She will very easily dispatch Mitt in the primaries
Mitt Roment has supported so-called "assault weapons" bans as Governor of the most liberal state in the country. The Supreme Court has ruled that it is constitutional for individual states make their own rules on these things, just as it was constitutional for the Sheriff to require men to check their guns when they rode into town. Laws like the assault weapons obviously don't accomplish anything, but Romeny's electorate overwhelmingly supported this one. I don't agree with this one, but it's clearly not the same thing as supporting "gun control" is it is known as a political issue.
And he made slaves of the citizens of massachusetts to the insurance industry.
Mitt Romney signed a health care bill into law in liberal Massachussets, just as Ronald Reagan signed an abortion bill into law in California. The state of Massachusetts is about 20% Republican voters. A Romney veto would have been overriden. He did veto eight provisions, including ones specificially for immigrants not covered by federal plans, but those vetos were overriden. In the end, he did not run against the bill (like Scott Brown) did, so he had no mandate to veto it. The main provision of the bill was tax breaks for those who had insurance, penalties (by way of loss of those tax breaks)for those who could afford it, but remained uninsured, and assistance for those who could not afford insurance. It is not bankrupting the peopel of Massachussetts, but it was never Romney's plan, so how is he "making made slaves of the citizens of massachusetts to the insurance industry?"
Romney is generally for something before he's against it. "Litmus test” is a liberal premise often used by the media. They accused Reagan of having them and then just shrugged when Clinton actually proposed being pro-choice as a litmus test for Supreme Court justices.
You like Romney, fine. You and ABC news...He's a weasel, another McCain, and he will get beat just as bad if the Stupid Party nominates him.
Romney, proven bad governor, loser,
and perennial spoiler, lost the FreeRepublic poll.
The slime and dirt is coming, and the MSM will help. JMO.
