Former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney is also a presumptive candidate for President in the 2012 election, which was a topic of conversation on The Tonight Show last night. Host Jay Leno opened the light, if not somewhat boring interview with questions about a potential White House bid, to which Romney replied, “If you ever see me sign up for a gig on Fox News, it’ll be a clear indication that I’ve decided to run for president,” adding “that’s not in the cards anytime soon, thanks.”
It was a gentle yet pointed dig at the cable news channel who includes on their roster a long list of news analysts and commentators who are considered to be GOP presidential hopefuls in 2012, including Sarah Palin, Newt Gingrich, John Bolton, and Rick Santorum. 2008 Presidential hopeful, and potential candidate for 2012 Mike Huckabee even hosts his own weekend program on Fox News, which has raised some questions about the symbiotic relationship between Fox News and the GOP presidential candidates.

Mitt and all RINOs: don’t bother
This time we are NOT allowing the MSM to choose our candidate.

Well, it would be good for him to spend money, as long as it is not publicly collected income tax money.
He’s probably comfortable making that snotty comment because he probably approached Fox News and got rejected.
Why can’t these “savvy politicos” see that it’s NEVER a good idea to insult your voters...
He’s an idiot...can’t believe he ever got my primary vote...but then, what was the alternative?
‘somewhat boring’
I saw it.
No somewhat about it...the guy’s a stiff with zero game.
In normal times this is the way you do it. You spend a couple of years getting your book ghost-written, you have your team write your position papers, you spend some months with focus-groups working out your campaign issues and fine tuning your principles, and then you launch your campaign.
These aren’t normal times. We’re in a fight to save the republic. If you didn’t know that, didn’t notice that, didn’t show up for it, haven’t any battle scars to show for it, never once bothered to take on the Obamists in any significant way, you may be the greatest prodigy ever to be born to the political world but sorry, we don’t need you.
This is my litmus test for anyone running for national office; where were you the last two years? When did you get in Obama’s face? What did you do to stop this runaway train-wreck? If the answer is, nothing, it wasn’t your job, then thats the end of it as far as I’m concerned. Leaders lead; they don’t wait for a coronation. They don’t wait for an invitation. They lead.
Romney is no leader. He is no fighter. He needn’t bother.
I saw him on Leno. What can I say? He is one slick politician. It’s like he mastered every trick in the book. He just can’t hide the Romneycare crap that you know is all over his face every time he talks.
Well, there you have it. As far as I can see, Mitt has been actively running for President, non-stop, but he can hardly get himself into the news. All Sarah has to do is clear her throat, and all the media are on it.
Mitt lost last time, even though he had the entire media shilling for him. He got up around 20%, with the entire media world pumping him up, and then he stuck there and gradually fell back. So the media pimps had to settle for McCain instead. Nobody really wanted McCain, but even fewer people wanted Romney. I fail to see how he is even going to get off the ground this time. Most of the time he is running around under the radar.
F- this guy. He’s a sleaze and a creep.
P.S. How did he manage to make a headline on this obscure blog? By giving the back of his hand to Sarah Palin. It was her fame that gave him the headline, not his. And not a very helpful headline, either, if I may say so.
No flames here.
LOL!
If he is going to run for President i hope it is for President of China!!!
Oh no, thank YOU.
One more thing, can you put that in writing?
.
Next time I get to be the RINO, right John?
