I actually think that would probably be a good move. I think most people underestimated Romney's strength as a general election candidate.
Unfortunately for Romney, he fell victim to the Republican Party's overwhelming religious bigotry.
In defeating him, they overlooked Romney's eager embrace of every side of every issue, his robotic good looks, his toothy grin, and last, but not least, his abiding willingness to argue that the Democratic Party is a threat the safety and welfare of every man, woman, and child in the United States of America.
Mitt Romney is an articulate version George W. Bush -- I cannot imagine a better representative of the Grand Old Party.
