Mitt Romney is eyeing a third run for the White House and will get in the race in the coming months if he doesn't like how the GOP field is looking, his longtime friend Ken Gardner said Monday. "I know exactly what Mitt's going to do," Gardner, a real estate developer who helped bring Romney to Utah to lead the 2002 Winter Olympics, told the Deseret News. "I think over the next few months, a lot of things will happen."Those things are, of course, a slew of announcements. We already know Jeb Bush is in. Christie probably is too. Rubio is said to be "closing in" on a decision, while Ted Cruz has been conspicuously quiet. ...And it's that last name that supposedly has Romney worried.
Gardner, however, said Romney is watching to see how the other potential Republican candidates fare, especially Bush and Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, before deciding whether to run again after losses in 2008 and 2012. "He's not making any decision right now," Gardner said. "He feels he needs to wait and see what candidates come out and how they're received, and how much support they have. He does not want to see this race go to the Democrats." "....If it's Ted Cruz that's the candidate, he's in. If it's Jeb Bush, he's probably not," Gardner said.Thank goodness Romney's out there to save the GOP from making a disastrous mistake like nominating a candidate that might actually appeal to the base! After all, if there's one person who can save voters from themselves, it's a man who convinced three million registered Republicans to stay home in 2012.
