Mitt Romney has decided to deprive U.S. Amercians of the pleasure of kicking his ass a third time, the selfish bastard. Typical. On a conference call with Ann and his "supporters" (most of whose names end in "Romney," we are pretty sure), Mitt explained why after all that teasing and making us laugh so hard, he is not going to run against Hillary Clinton -- from the left! -- in 2016:
Even with all the recent upgrades, Mittbot 3.0 is still in beta. (Integration of the new and untested Concern for Milddle Class Module has been especially problemmatic.) No release date has been set.
And here Mitt thought they were being nice by giving him a window seat in the clown car. Next thing he knows, boom! -- and he's on his ass by the side of the road.
Yes and no. Signora_Quarantanove and I walk by the site every weekend and peek through the fence to observe the progress. He's building the biggest allowable house on a rather small lot, which is the only "sensible" thing to do from a maximize-value point of view. But from a can-ordinary-people-see-the-ocean point of view, it's terrible.
Jeb Bush has been anointed by the Koch brothers, and Mitt has been informed. Stay tuned for some spectacular triangulation, as Jeb is carefully taught what he believes in (at least for the duration of the GOP primary.)
Ted Cruz has enough arrogance to make up for the lot of them. It will be fun to watch the less-insane wing of the GOP try to rein him in, while he tries to whip up the teabagger demographic.
Bush/Cruz is going to look like a tasty combo to the GOP's owners, although Jeb might find it unbearable.
I'm pretty sure "can ordinary people see the ocean?" was low on his priority list. Right below "is there a convenient check-cashing/payday loan storefront nearby?"

A little known bit of programming he didn't know about - Directive 4.
Ha ha! and Ha again!

And a host of others.
I would be heartbroken, but am buoyed by the sweet sound of Stuart Stevens's career going down the toilet.

Is that the Death Stare guy?

I'm going to miss the jokes.
No way socialist O'Bummer would make people pay. That's got to be a free handout to all us takers.
5,000 signatures and all of your dignity.

They're Realist.
On the bright side, his 2012 campaign advisors are now free to contribute their unique expertise to the eventual nominee.
