Mitt Romney 2016?

This week in the news, Utah Congressman Jason Chaffetz, one of my favorites, proclaimed that Mitt will run again in 2016, and this time he will win. -1. Some may be surprised to hear me say this, with as angry as I was when we lost in 2012, but it could happen, and Mitt could have my support again, though I am so far quite intrigued by Doctor Ben Carson, but we will discuss him later.

Mitt won’t get an immediate endorsement from me this time though. He got it after Ron Paul was defeated, but this time he is going to need to work harder. You see, unlike the hacks that work in Washington DC, I know the real reason we lost in 2012 had nothing to do with a Democratic block voting Democratic. We lost because 3 million registered Conservative Republicans sat out the elections. It is interesting to analyze this election and learn the following; Romney won with Independents by huge margins. Romney increased the Black Youth vote for Republicans. Romney saw a ten point shift of the Jewish voter toward Republicans. But where he lost was with his own party’s base.
