Mitt Romney to rejoin GOP race?
Source: Los Angeles Times

Josh Romney, one of former Gov. Mitt Romney's five sons, says it's "possible" his father may rejoin the race for the White House, as a vice presidential candidate or as the Republican Party's standard-bearer if the campaign of Sen. John McCain falters.

The 60-year-old Romney, who "suspended" his campaign for the GOP nomination after a disappointing showing on Super Tuesday and a week later endorsed McCain, was taking a break from politics this weekend on a skiing vacation in Utah with his wife, Ann, according to his 32-year-old son.

... Because he suspended rather than terminated his campaign, Romney still retains control of the nearly 300 delegates he's already won.

1. Home Fries will reduce him to atoms with a single boot.
Home Fries (McCain) will deride him as a lazyman and an indecisive character.

14. Then Huckabee is the man ...

If McCain is taken down by the whole traveling around with a lobbyist representing interests regulated by his committee and then firing off nasty letters to the FCC over media deregulation, then I'm sure Huckabee would be the nominee apparent at that time. But of course, if McCain drops, no one will have the required #s. So the delegates will be on their own at that point.

8. About as likely as Josh Romney joining the army and going to Iraq
Maybe Josh misses serving his country by driving that big motorhome and buddying up with his bros.

12. Grab those straws Mitt
I've never seen this statement made before, "or as the Republican Party's standard-bearer if the campaign of Sen. John McCain falters." I suggest he not wait up for that phone call.

15. Why are you pushing Romney?
Edited on Mon Feb-25-08 05:21 PM by GoneOffShore
He's not a Dem.

And he SUCKED at being a governor.

And if he supports the war so much, why haven't those kids of his enlisted?

17. The name of this website is DEMOCRATIC UNDERGROUND.
It's not a site for promoting Republican candidates.
