Is there any wonder then, that some rueful Republicans are wondering once again if there's a little something at least electable about Mitt Romney?
No, I don't know how electable people think he is. I just know that the "Mitt" documentary and the "slow-jam" segment on "Jimmy Fallon" has him back in the popular consciousness again. If he is thinking about another run, (even though his family say he wasn't even that keen to run last time around, as if) might I suggest less Ann Romney?
Also, he might benefit by not even bringing up Benghazi ever again, The idea that this privileged knob thought the best thing to do 9/11/12 was wave four bloody shirts in the face of the Obama Administration before the bodies were cold actually remains, to my mind, the most appalling thing I can imagine any politician, however hopeless regarding foreign policy he might be, could even do. Although he's also hair-disturbingly awful in other respects.
So, for the wistful, isn't there always at least Mike Huckabee, whose polls are up after basically calling women on birth control slaves to their libido and beggars in the face of their own reproductive needs?
Such princely pickings, you all!

Hi Vixen,
I believe that a lot of the country is experiencing acute buyer's remorse. As a consequence, I think that stodgy, old, dull Mitt looks pretty good.
Reminds me of a situation many years ago. The Peace Corps started, and thousands of young liberal arts majors rushed in to solved the problems of the world in a burst of idealism. However, it turned out that what was needed were a lot of agricultural majors and others who actually knew how to build and fix stuff. (I remember having some amusing conversations with people involved at the time.)
I doubt that Mitt will run. It would be find with me, but then my world model does not include a class struggle between the proletariat and the bourgeoisie. My hope is that whoever it is will be a governor with the executive experience that entails. Frankly, I think our country has become very short-sighted when we elect a person with scarcely any experience to take over this job. I believe we are suffering from that at the present time.
So whether it is a Republican or Democrat, my hope it that it will be someone with the practical experience of being the chief executive of a state.
I doubt if Benghazi will become an issue unless Mrs. Clinton decides to run. Then it would be a big issue and rightfully so. I am personally very fed up with people on the right and left whose blind ambitions cause them to pursue elected posts through a camouflage of deception and obfuscation. If our politics continue to be nothing but people pretending their misdeeds do not exist, then all the goodness has been leached out of our political system.

Maybe one of Mitt's sons, like Thagg or Gugg can run.

Keep making love to that domesticated galliforme!
