Mitt Romney’s Political Future is in California
Republican presidential candidate Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., flanked by former Ebay CEO Meg Whitman, left, and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, makes a statement on the economy after an economic roundtable in Cleveland, Ohio, Octoober 27, 2008.
Mitt Romney’s path to re-emerge from the political wilderness is through California and it has already started.
Remember the tag team of Meg Whitman, former President and CEO of eBay and Mitt Romney for the U.S. Senate seat of Barbara Boxer and the term limited out seat of California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger. It has been rumored for weeks that Romney is leaking he is interested in entering California GOP politics.
California’s economy is poor and ripe for the deliverance of new leadership away from the failed policies of the Democrat dominated Legislature and RINO Schwarzenegger. Romney or Whitman as accomplished business professionals may be what California voters desire. And, both had major presence in the successful pro-Proposition 8 campaign that restored the traditional definition of marriage.
Watch in January whether Mitt opens a federal U.S. Senate fundraising committee. If Romney doesn’t then, it will be Romney for Governor and Whitman for Senate.
Mitt Romney should he win California office will be well positioned to again seek the Presidency, Palin notwithstanding. If not, Romney will NOT be a Presidential player in 2012 or thereafter.

Romney has no chance to win any office in this State, given its demographics and his flip-flopping plastic personality.

He’ll be taking on a big task if he does go down that route. First, he’ll have to win it, and then Romney has to turn around California’s economy, or at least make visible gains. If he can’t produce results, then he’s going to end up even worse. You think Romney can do that?

Hard to say. But, if anyone can manage such a large economy I suppose Romney has the experience and track record.

Against an old DiFi or Jerry Brown he may have a shot.
