Mitt Romney Run For President 2016?

Will Mitt Romney Run For President 2016?

If at first you don’t succeed…try, try, try again!!

Far from being excommunicated by Republicans after his loss to President Obama, 2012 Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney is enjoying a brand resurgence of late, drawing several potential 2016 candidates to his “ideas summit” this weekend in Utah and even earning some 2016 speculation himself. Meanwhile, some other potential candidates are in Iowa for the state Republican Party’s convention there Saturday. And not to be left out, Gov. Chris Christie, R-N.J., was in California Friday to raise money for the Republican gubernatorial candidate there and participate in a Facebook chat.

It all adds up to a busy weekend for the early 2016 Republican presidential sweepstakes. Romney once worried he’d be branded a “loser for life” by his party if he failed to unseat the president, but it hasn’t quite worked out that way. Despite the crowd of up-and-comers at his summit, many people there were more abuzz about the possibility that Romney himself could jump into the race in 2016.

Rommey “is the only person that can fill the stage,” said MSNBC host and former Republican congressman Joe Scarborough at a private dinner on the summit’s opening night, according to The Washington Post. “He would be a giant in a field of midgets,” added Montana Gov. Brian Schweitzer, a Democrat who’s weighing a 2016 bid himself.

Romney has not entertained speculation that he could mount another bid, saying he’s only interested in putting his stamp on the party going forward and positioning Republicans to win national elections. “The unavailable is always the most attractive, right?” he said, according to The Associated Press. “That goes in dating as well.”

Rand Paul, an insurgent Republican viewed skeptically by the party brass, sharpened his pitch ahead of his speech in Utah, telling Republicans they must expand their support without watering down their message.

“Our base is not big enough to win national elections and we have to reach out to new people, and that means African-Americans, Hispanics, young people, single women,” Paul told The Washington Post. “We have to have a message that we don’t dilute or make no longer consistent with who we are, but that we take elements that really do appeal to people.”

Hmmmmm, what do you guys think about Money Mitt potentially running again in 2016??
