I don't think so.
If he does run, I don't think he gets the nomination.

He has repeatedly said no.
You never want to confuse the people with great character and conviction, with the slimiest of politicians..that's how we ended up with Obama.

I doubt he will run again.
If he does, he will have to answer to his son spouting off, "He never wanted the presidency and just ran 'cause you nominated him."

If he thinks he can win, he'll run. That's my guess.
He's not going to say or hint at it, now. It's much too early.
He'd be making himself a target and would gain nothing.

Romney was also pro-abortion and anti-gun and changed his mind when it benefited him to do so.
Having said that, I'll vote for him. I think he's a smart man and probably better than anyone else out there.

I hope he doesn't. We need fresh and bold, not a wimpy who apologizes every time he says what needs to be said.

I don't see anyone on the horizon who can motivate the vote.
Fresh and bold can get us into trouble.
I remember JFK, Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton and Obama all being a "breath of fresh air" and look what that got us.

Romney is too milk toast. Watch Dr. Ben Carson rise to the top.Problem is he too is a quiet man.

I'd certainly vote for him again. Just think where we'd be by now if he'd been elected. Because he has a mild manner you think milktoast? I see a steady resolve albeit not a thundering oracle I'm really sick of those. I see a man who knows business and finance. I see a man of good moral character. Good Lord! You think someone would even think about that remark from his son? We have a criminal regime with scandals every day! BTW, Rev. Wright's daughter has been convicted of "re-directing" funds from a charitable group from AIDS victims to herself...MILLIONS! Has anyone here seen a news story about it? I didn't think so.

Daughter of Obama's
former pastor convicted
in fraud case
By Mary Wisniewski
CHICAGO Fri Mar 7, 2014 10:39pm EST
(Reuters) - The daughter of President Barack Obama's former pastor was convicted on Friday of laundering thousands of dollars from a state grant for a Chicago-area job-training program, federal prosecutors said.
A federal jury took less than two hours to find Jeri Wright, 48, the daughter of Jeremiah Wright, guilty on all counts for her part in a fraud scheme led by a former suburban police chief and the chief's husband, according to the U.S. Attorney's office for the Central District of Illinois in Springfield.
The $1.25 million state grant was for a not-for-profit work and education program called We Are Our Brother's Keeper, owned by Regina Evans, former police chief of Country Club Hills, and her husband, Ronald Evans Jr.
Wright, a close friend of the couple, took as much as $11,000 from checks worth more than $30,000 that were supposed to be for work related to the grant, prosecutors said. About $20,000 was deposited back into accounts controlled by Regina and Ronald Evans.
The couple has pleaded guilty to the fraud scheme.
