TAMPA, Fla. – Ask the rising stars of the GOP about their party’s future and two names repeatedly come up.

Neither of them is Mitt Romney.

1. I was thinking earlier that the good thing for repubs is that they will finally have

Romney gone and be able to move on. His money has brought him this far, and now that will be over. I don't know about Ryan, if he will be a contender, but Romney is now over...

2. Let's not get overconfident though

The Koch Brothers and Wall Street haven't spent all this money for nothing.

They are still going to hammer Obama with an onslaught of attack ads for the next 2 months.

3. Actually that's exactly what the Koch brothers are going to get out of this, nothing

Just like they got nothing out of the money they spent on McCain.

Famous line in the advertising business, "Half of all advertising is worthless, you just don't know until after the fact".

4. Four years from now it will be a battle between Ryan and Jeb Bush.
