Mitt Romney to run if Jeb Bush doesn’t, CBS’s Bob Schieffer says [View all]

CBS “Face the Nation” host Bob Schieffer says he has it on solid authority that Mitt Romney may take another whack at the White House if former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush doesn’t run in 2016.

“I have a source that told me that if Jeb Bush decides not to run, that Mitt Romney may actually try it again,” he said during a panel discussion on his Sunday show, reported by Newsmax.
