Romney is a good man but as I predicted, he folded up like a cheap lawn chair.

If Romney were president, I wouldn´t be worried sick about the country.

If all the GOP can field in the 2016 primaries are a mixed bag of fringe Congressman and a Pizza guy, Mitt have have to be drafted. Of course there is always Jeb ´LBJ´ Bush - or the Mandarin guy from Utah.

... or the possibility of Rob Portman (R-OH).

George C Patton once stated that America despises a loser. To make it worse, Romney didn´t leave it all on the field. Just go away Mitt, go away.

Everyone is interested in his help with economic matters. I think it would be great (always did) for a Republican President to have him as a prominent economic adviser or Sec of Treasury. Re-run for the Presidency? Uh, no.

#4. Amen.

Mitt, just be like Bush and go away and keep your mouth shut.

Couldn´t be happier, he´s a great American....many of you seem to forget that?

Can you imagine how different our lives would be today had he won? Had the poll workers not voted 6 times for their boy?

He never folded, he was robbed....

So many armchair generals on this site. Romney is a great man and the GOP can use his advice and counsel.

How sad that behaving with dignity has become equated with "folding." Would you have preferred he have a public tantrum? Foam at the mouth?

If Romney is showing up at CPAC, it´s because they invited him and want to hear what he has to say.

A good man, but not the right candidate at this time. Northeastern GOP governors are not the right material to start with. When was the last time a northeastern GOP governor was elected President? Calvin Coolidge, elected 1924.

#1, I say the country folded on Mitt. Too many on the government take. Too many primary fights. Too much voter fraud. 53 districts in Philly and not 1 vote for Mitt?? This happened everywhere. I say Mitt shouldn´t run, we had our chance. Instead we elect Obama. America will never recover or get it.

Agree with #s 7 and 8.

He IS a good man, and would have helped get us back on the right path.

None of the GOP have the gonads to publicly admit this election was STOLEN by behavior typical of those in the punk-in-the-White-House´s "constituency."

It will be lovely to hear from Romney again. I have missed his good sense and dignified presence on a national scene.

Romney is a good man and the mood and future of this country would be in much better circumstances than it is now with Obama and his ilk at the helm. Too bad there are so many stupid, stupid people in the Republican Party.

Romney is a good man, but like McCain he wanted the nomination a lot more than he wanted the presidency itself.

Correct #7. It was stolen from him long before Election Day. The democrats had been laying the groundwork for years... I don´t think any republican candidate could have beaten the voter fraud that happened that day. To tell you the truth, I still haven´t come out of my post election depression yet. The shock turned to sadness and then anger, but now it´s fading to fear... I still read Lucianne daily, but hardly ever listen to talk radio anymore and I have turned off FNC completely. Rush used to make me feel better but now even he can´t ease my mind. It´s all just too upsetting. So if I´m feeling this way still, I can´t even begin to imagine how Mitt feels. He is a good man and I believe he did the best job possible. I wish he had won but I don´t blame the loss on him. Decency doesn´t stand a chance in this new America we live in.

Posted from my iPhone, please pardon any typos.

Romney hired rank amateurs for his IT team and did not even pilot test ORCA-his GOTV application. And he ran as a CEO? More like a ´financial community organizer´ taken to the woodshed by a ´community organizer.´ Go away and take the entire 2012 primary field with you.

He was the right guy to get us out of this mess....I´m sorry we´re going to have to go deeper into the abyss before resurrection

Sounds like you Republicans are to eager to re-nominate him come next election. That is, if the party is still alive then.

Romney 2016. Rand Paul? Rubio? Both for open borders. Christie? Judas makes me barf. Jindal? Weird and robotic and probably for amnesty. Cruz? Not eligible. Romney is like Nixon who won the second time around. If not Romney, who?

I really do like him, and I really think he would have made a great president. But run again? I don´t see it happening. I like Rand Paul, or most any GOP governor. I´d like to see a governor.

#21, Mike Pence might just be the answer to your prayers: a Republican governor with impeccable conservative credentials.

CPAC is turning into RINOpac--

If Romney had the cohones to take the Bengazi cover up all the way through the media which we now know covered it all up until the election was over, HE would be giving the State of the Union Address!!!

This is a joke!

That´s right, #4 and other posters, let´s just try to get rid of decent, law-abiding Republicans, who tried darn hard to beat the cheat machine Dems. Gee, did Romney file to run in 2016 all ready? Maybe he still just wants to help our country.

I feel the same as #16 - still bummed.

Should we ask his son if he really wants it this time?

Right on, #23.

The Republican Party needs to go the way of the Whigs. That way a new party can emerge. One that promotes the traditions of free markets and self sufficiency that have made the country great in the past.

If the people who voted for McCain had voted for Romney, he would have won. I will never, ever, ever, understand those who claim they love this country yet stayed home and let Obama complete his destruction of this country. Saying that Romney would have been no better than Obama is the height of arrogant self-delusion. A people get the government they deserve and we are going to get it hard.

I get a sinking feeling this "emergence" is tied into Karl "Pac-man" Rove and his gop power grab.
Go ahead and line ´em up, Rove. Start with Romney. Then we´ll know who that leaves for a new party.

I´m sorry to disagree with fellow Ldotters, but Romney was not so good while he destroyed his fellow Republicans just to win the nomination. The destruction and amount of money spent to do it was dishonorable and not worthy of a good man. No warrior, him.

Quite honestly, if he´d done the same with obama, I would have believed he was sincere in his effort to help the country, but he apologized for calling Obamacare...Obamacare! That was when I knew the end was nigh.
New leadership please. Even better-a new party.

Sadly, not for the last time, but Romney got 1 million more votes than McCain but continue to believe otherwise if it makes you happy.

#29. So what does the extra 1M votes get him? 2nd place! Big deal!

My previous post was in response to #27.

Wish it was Ann. Her I like, she´s got a set.

Right on #7,16,24, & 11,13,24 and I share your sentiments

Sorry #28 Romney destroyed no one in the primaries, they were lackluster and they lost or are we not the personal responsibility party anymore?
