A one-term governor and failed Presidential candidate whose breadth and depth of actual political experience is somewhat limited and whose business experience is vastly overrated and not really relevant to the broader economy? If this had been suggested about John McCain in 2008 it would have been a more serious idea. Romney though? It's a silly idea.
