Mitt Romney is the "rebound boyfriend" just killing time until the GOP triples down....

...on Jeb Bush in 2016.
IMHO
Otherwise the GOP would be bending over backwards as a party for the guy.
But they are not doing that.

They may be tripling down but I don't think Jeb's their guy......nt AverageJoe90 Sep 2012 #1

Elizabeth Warren vs Beb Jush left on green only Sep 2012 #2

I think if he loses by a big margin, there will be a strong push in the party to do exactly that. Warren DeMontague Sep 2012 #3

Now there's a match up I would like to see. Especially if the dems are able to hold onto the Senate while winning back the House in the current election. Then President Obama would have the opportunity to get our country started back on the road to healing in advance of a rethug attempt to win back the POTUS. Oh, and is it too much to also hope for an overturn of Citizen United during the next four years?

we always lose when we don't have a Bush on the ticket!!!

The last time the Republicans won the White House without a Bush on their ticket was 1972.

(The last time without a Bush or Richard Nixon was 1928).

THey figured if they can Win the senate, keep the house they can pretty much nullify Obama for 4 years until Jeb runs in 2016. THen we're still with republicans running everything and we know how that turned out in 2001
