While in Salt Lake City yesterday I heard from someone who lives down the street from Mitt Romney (one of several Romney homes across America) about an unusually large number of limos congregating there recently. My guess is it’s the GOP establishment planning a Romney re-run for 2016. Big business Republicans are deathly afraid of Ted Cruz and Rand Paul, they don’t think Chris Christie or Jeb Bush is viable with the electorate, and are watching early tea-leaves such as yesterday’s Boston Herald/Suffolk University poll showing 24 percent of likely New Hampshire Republicans would vote for Mitt in the state’s 2016 GOP primary while very other potential candidate got under 10 percent of the vote (Christie came in second with just over 9 percent). Note also Romney and his backers are far richer than they were in 2012, thanks to a super-charged stock market and record corporate profits based mainly on pushing down the wages of everyone else (the Commerce Department reported this week that the real median wage dropped over the past 12 months), so they can spend even more in 2016. If it’s Romney versus Hillary Clinton, who wins?
