25. Having been the standard-bearer last time, I doubt mitt would EVER settle for #2.

He sees himself as a superior being. The fulfillment of whatever that crazy prophecy was about the magic white horse or whatever it was. To be the second-in-command behind a dweeb like jebbie bush, I don't think he'd even consider it. And there's also his wife. Is she getting sicker? You can't hold off a disease like that forever, even with all the money in the world to buy the best treatment in the world. Maybe he doesn't want to put her through it again. Maybe he can't put her through it again.

Whatever.

Now he settles into elder-statesman-land, and hopes to become a "kingmaker." Hey mitt - just take all your money and all your mansions and car elevators and go home.

Anyone surprised? George II Jan 2015 #1
