Mitt Romney says he may run for president in 2016 (Not a Joke)

Mitt Romney has said time and time again that he has no interest in running for president a third time.

But, on Sunday morning, CBS' Bob Schieffer said not to write off the idea of a 2016 campaign by Romney so quickly.

"I have a source that told me that if Jeb Bush decides not to run, that Mitt Romney may actually try it again," Schieffer said.

During a political panel discussion, the "Face the Nation" host said that he has been told that Romney will consider seeking the Republican nomination for the presidency in 2016 if former Florida governor Jeb Bush chooses to sit the race out.

OTOH, maybe God is telling Romney to run, like he did Bachmann.

Or the GOP could turn to Romney. If Scott Walker loses in 2014, then the GOP may not have a choice other than Romney if Jeb does not run

He's never celebrated Cinco De Mayo. Or St. Patrick's Day for that matter.

He once heard a Phil Collins song and told the people playing it to "turn that Crap off" because he thought it was too edgy for his taste.

He's never been to a place that's open 24 hours.

He once wore a black suit as a Halloween costume. Yes that was it.

He is Mitt Romney - THE LEAST INTERESTING MAN IN THE WORLD!!!!!

"I only tried beer once as a teenager. I didn't like it but those were my wild years. Although if I drank one now it'd probably be a Dos Equis."

Stay boring my friends.

Remember, the Fox news watchers are certain that Obama stole the last election and Romney was a wonderful candidate.
