Is Mitt Romney The New John Edwards

While the title might lead you to believe that Romney might be cheating, don't. John Edwards, after his presidential loss with John Kerry, began his 2008 campaign for president the day after the 2004 loss.

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."

When Romney's staffers get back together to talk shop, something has to be cooking. A bit of advice for Romney though. Don't screw one of your staffers.

Penn Whining about Edwards Running

The revelation of Edwards infidelity during the dem presidential primary has caused Mark Penn, Hillary's pollster/chief adviser, to gleefully daydream about a primary without Edwards:

“Most likely it would have been a two-way race and would have released a lot of voters who focused on demographics . . . voters who would later vote for Hillary Clinton.”

What a bunch of hooey. Hillary lost because she didn't compete in smaller caucuses/primary states. She lost because she was stuck on the idea that if you target only select states then you will win the primary and the presidency. 

It was a failing strategy that doomed her campaign. Not an unfaithful John Edwards.
