Romney eyes 2016 run for president, close friend says

Source: Fox13

A close confidante says the Republican is eyeing the White House yet again.

Romney’s long-time advisor, former chairman and general counsel of Romney’s leaderships PACs Kirk Jowers, said the Republican is considering it.

Romney isn’t saying yes but he also isn’t saying no.

“I laugh whenever I get that question because really the answer is zero percent until he says I’m in, then it’s 100 percent — but what we have seen is Gov. Romney started off 2014 saying no, and sometimes saying no 12 straight times to national reporters on whether he would ever run again but he’s clearly softened on that no in the last couple of months,” said Jowers, who has been by Romney’s side since the 1990s.

This draft-dodging, cowardly silver-spoon-up-his-butt really should run. At least show up to the circus of candidates at the weekly debates. God, I love this guy!

I hope his car elevator is done so he can completely commit himself to the campaign this time around.

and he probably relives that winning feeling daily.
In fact, he probably sees those feelings as a message from his god—and I'm not talking about money.

LOL. That reminds me of a TV show I love, Better Off Ted:

Linda: There's really no middle ground with you. Either you don't care at all, or you care 100-and-crazy-percent.
Veronica: What else is there? Now saddle up, Linda, and say goodbye to common sense.


Even assuming the GOP is willing to nominate him this go 'round, is he really that eager to get his ass handed to him again?

And yes, Ann, we know that Seamus "loved" riding on the roof of the car and shitting all over himself. Loved it, I tell ya!
