Mitt Romney’s team awaits 2012
Politico

Mitt Romney says publicly he’s not considering another presidential campaign, most recently on Sunday during an appearance on NBC’s “Meet the Press.” But many of his loyalists expect one and remain at the ready for 2012.

When dozens of former Romney aides and advisers convened on the terrace of Charlie Spies’ fashionable Penn Quarter loft earlier this year on a warm February night, the purpose was ostensibly to help raise money for the Virginia state House race of Romney strategist Barbara Comstock.

Read the rest.

    Mitt is just another fake conservative…but really, the GOP doesn’t have any real conservatives in their inner circle anymore.

    The GOP needs another war to regain power…no biggie.

    I was on Romney’s Virginia leadership team and, while I’m not making any commitments, the field is already thinning. I assume Gillespie was at the same Virginia fundraiser I was, and Romnney WAS excellent there. Lt. Gov. Bolling, who headed the Romney campaign in Virginia, basically said he’d do it again if Romney decides to run.

    I was chatting with former presidential candidate Pete du Pont at an event the other day. (I was a direct mail fundraising consultant for the 1988 du Pont presidential campaign.) He said he thought Romney was the frontrunner but that his biggest problem might turn out to be the Massachusetts health care plan, which isn’t doing well.

    Eh, I never liked Romeny. He seems so fake to me… like made a list of conservative values and checked them off one by one. His record in Mass doesn’t quite seem to support his new stance on certain issues.

    Romney certainly will have an advantage if the economy and over-spending of the current administration continues.

    The trick for Romney will be navigating the social issues. It will make or break him IMHO.
