In a much similar way, Mitt Romney has been campaigning for the 2012 presidential election ever since he lost back in 2008. Mitt could have carried out his campaign until the end like Hillary or Huckabee. Instead, he saw the writing on the wall and knew he would have another chance in 2012.
From Politico:
"When dozens of former Romney aides and advisers convened on the terrace of Charlie Spies’ fashionable Penn Quarter loft earlier this year on a warm February night, the purpose was ostensibly to help raise money for the Virginia state House race of Romney strategist Barbara Comstock.
But Spies, formerly the Romney campaign’s CFO, wasn’t just hosting a $100 per-head fundraiser. He was also staging a Romney political family reunion, as advertised by his e-mail invitation subject line, “The Romney gang back together,” and the special $50 cut-rate fee for former campaign staffers meant to draw some of the junior aides."
