Rmoney - The nerd that knows math and economics

The latest signs that Mitt Romney is likely to run for president in 2016 may come as welcome news to former aides and supporters, many of whom received phone calls from the former Massachusetts governor this weekend.

The two-day "Opportunity for All, Favoritism for None" conference was hosted by the Heritage Foundation, an influential conservative think tank. The event brought together activists and Republican lawmakers looking to promote conservative solutions on education, defense, religious liberty and marriage -- issues that potential 2016 candidates will need to tackle ahead of what is shaping up to be a contentious primary. But when asked about Romney, an establishment Republican who failed to unseat President Barack Obama in 2012, several attendees said thanks, but no thanks.

“I’m sure he would make a great president. He knows math and he understands economics. And he’s a hundred percent honest," entrepreneur Robert W. Ellis told The Huffington Post. "But the public doesn’t get moved by him. He doesn’t stir their hearts. We need somebody who will light the fire."

Wait, to become a good president, you need to know math, economics, and not be a nerd?
Perhaps he should ask Obama what it takes to become a great president. It's a lot more than the aforementioned here.

Mitty, Mr flip flopper, it didn't work last time. It sure as hell won't work this time. Note: the 47% have spoken.

Ba Bye Mittens.
