Romney Redux?

Membership ticker

Right now is no time to come up short.

It's time to fight like hell for a democracy where minority rule cannot impose an extreme and cruel agenda, where the Big Lie is called a Big Lie, where facts matter, and where accountability at the polls and in the press has a fighting chance. We have our work cut out for us, and we urgently need to raise about 400,000 by Thursday, June 30, to finish our fiscal year on track and give it everything we possibly can. Please help us get there with a donation if you can right now.

Right now is no time to come up short. It's time to fight like hell for a democracy where minority rule cannot impose an extreme and cruel agenda, where facts matter, and where accountability at the polls and in the press has a fighting chance. We have our work cut out for us, and we still need to raise upwards of 400,000 by June 30 to give it everything we can. Please help:

No, the prodigious Romney spawn are not running for office. Romney himself is thinking about getting back in!

That’s according to Josh Romney, the elder Romney’s son, who says it is “possible” his father may rejoin the race for the White House, due to John McCain’s stumbles.

As hilarious as that would be (I miss the good old days, when the Republican race was completely FUBAR), it wouldn’t do Romney much good. According to the AP’s delegate count, Romney’s former victories gave him just two more delegates than Mike Huckabee currently has. It’s commonly acknowledged that it is mathematically impossible for Huckabee to win the nomination. The same goes for Romney.

Mitt, listen. To paraphrase Jay-Z, you got money stacks bigger than John McCain. Enjoy your retirement. Or, make like John Edwards after 2004 and start campaigning in Iowa now.

Update: Josh Romney proves me wrong! He is considering running for Congress!
