Romney 2016!
January 24th, 2012
Let’s just say, for the sake of argument, that Mitt Romney is not elected president in 2012–either because he loses the nomination or wins the nomination, but loses to President Obama. What would you guess the odds are of him putting himself forward again in 2016? Here’s Galley Reader D.R. laying down an early line:
1 commentOdds he runs again if Obama is the lame-duck incumbent? 2:1
Odds he takes on an incumbent President Gingrich for the nomination (while labeling him a “career politician who’s spent the last 4 years in Washington”)? Even money.

Romney. Bain. Vanity Fair.
January 20th, 2012
Amidst the attempted hit job is a story which, if accurate, is an interesting lens through which to view Romney’s political career.
P.S. On Laura Ingraham’s show this morning, Romney said the following about Gingrich:
“[Gingrich] has a message that he’ll carry,” Romney said. “I think the great difference between the two of us is that he spent the last 30 or 40 years either being an elected official in Washington or being a person that connects people in Washington—a lobbyist, if you will. And I just can’t imagine that the United States of American is going to replace a Washington politician with another Washington politician.”
It’s completely fair to characterize Gingrich as a “Washington politician,” but it’s much less accurate to label Obama as the same. Obama is actually a counter-example of what can happen when you drop a true political outsider into the presidency.
