Romney Looking to 2012?
I had an interesting conversation recently with a source close to the Romney campaign: The source, a prominent Utah businessman, said “Romney is young and now looking to 2012.” What will the Romney platform look like in 2012? Because he’s pandered so much to the far Right (which many feel was a mistake), he’s now stuck there. He can’t flip moderate, he’s cast his lot with the party. But if Obama or Hillary win the Presidency (which is very likely), Romney could be the clear conservative nominee. He’ll still have to figure out how to beat the evangelical “darling”. Whether it’s Mike Huckcabee (Heaven save us) or someone else, they’ll make their voices heard.
So I guess the question is this - what does Romney do in the meantime? Does he work for the RNC? Hope a cabinet position comes his way? (not likely), start a foundation? (the Al Gore route) . . .guess we’ll see.
