He keeps saying no to third run for the White House, but another new poll – this time in Iowa – indicates Mitt Romney would be the front runner for the Republican presidential nomination if he changes his mind.
A USA Today/Suffolk University survey of Iowa voters released Wednesday should add to the feeding frenzy over a possible 2016 presidential bid by the 2012 GOP nominee. While the former Massachusetts governor's repeatedly said he's not running again, the attention such speculation captures is a sign of the wide open nature right now of the upcoming Republican nomination race.

. . . literally meaningless save for the wall to wall coverage by all the media whores. Iowa should be to the presidential election process what Kwanzaa is to holidays.
Ha! Good one. Let’s invent a meaningless political event.
Well, then where is the next Reagan? If it’s so obvious that’s what we need - and if it’s so obvious how well Reagan was beloved, then why isn’t someone current and relevant simply copying his style and RUNNING???
Yep, I agree.
There comes a time for principle and what I call “realistic principle.” Just like I didn’t waste my vote on Perot - which gave the nation Clinton.... I wasn’t about to waste my vote on someone that has no chance of winning and therefore NO CHANCE to stop Obama.
Principles are great, but there has to be a shred of reality when push comes to shove.
Reagan was unique in history. Just like Coolidge.
Why invent one when we already have the Iowa caucuses to fill the bill?
I am soooooo tired of “his turn” BS.
we have hitlary because it is “her turn”.
we have ryan because it is “his turn”
NOW it is Romney because it is “his turn”.
just like we had dole and mcdud because of “his turn”
That’s 6 electoral votes. Only 265 more.
Iowa caucus is the only reason we’re throwing money down the ethanol rat hole.
I think you’re missing my point.... which is...
This country is so screwed up, that even Mickey Mouse would look good against ANY RAT!
Reagan cannot be copied and it would be a mistake for anyone to try. By Reagan-like I mean someone who can unite the GOP ( convince the GOP-e conservatism is not a radical idea) and pull in the independents.
I don’t know who it is. I wish I did.
