Two-time presidential contender Mitt Romney is apparently looking seriously at making a third White House bid in 2016.
Romney, who has repeatedly insisted he will not run, has kept his inner circle intact and regularly discusses national politics with them, according to a Washington Examiner column by Byron York published Wednesday night.
The article stressed the possibility of Romney ultimately declining to run, but sources around him reportedly have the strong sense that Romney is keeping the door open. What's more, that same inner circle really wants him to run again.
"Virtually the entire advisory group that surrounded Mitt in 2012 are eager for him to run, almost to a man and a woman," one "plugged-in member of Romneyland" told the Examiner.

(28,749 posts)I'd have to do some googling but I wonder how many times in the past someone has run 3 times?
Clearly it happened see Roosevelt... But to run and loose 2 times and then run again I think is different.
Also would you really only count the times the candidate actually got the nomination? Because then 2008 doesn't really count...

Would probably list it as a benefit and charge for it.

It wouldn't surprise me if Mitt ASKED him to plant this story to see if the pot couldn't be stirred a bit. Perhaps Mitt wants to smoke old Jeb outta his hole. I think Jeb would be nuts to run--between his horrible children and his tax duty-dodging wife who spends more time in Mexico than she does in USA, he knows he'd be raked over the coals. He has NOT been vetted. Then again, I think no one likes Mitt either. And they like Queen Annie and Rafalca even less!

(34,358 posts)Sorry, Oh So Entitled Ones, We the People DESPISE you guys, so please toddle on back to your La Jolla McMansion & ride up & down in your car elevator. Psssssssst, Queen Ann, dear, it will NEVER be "your turn." I still chuckle when I think of her in that Prom hair up-do on Election Night 2012--she was SO SURE that she was going to be the next FLOTUS. You could just tell by that party hair she was sporting. However, by the time The Mittster gave his concession speech, she looked pretty disheveled--sort of like my cat, Cranky Nigel, when he rolls around on the basement floor, LOL.
