Who's Getting Chased from the Field by Romney's 2016 Trial Balloons? Ummm ... Maybe Mitt Romney

Mitt 3.0 Fails To Impress Conservatives At Major Conference In Washington from the Huffington Post
"...  the prospect of another Romney campaign failed to capture the hearts of social and fiscal conservatives gathered this week in the nation's capital to hammer out the policy agenda for the new Republican-controlled Congress."
Well, if anyone is driven from the race early by Romney's trial balloons, it may be Mitt Romney himself.  Response from many conservatives has been, shall we say, underwhelming.  This is a key moment for Romney.  Can he hear the almost unanimous voice of his party: DON'T DO IT!  If he goes forward in the face of this, it will reveal so much about him as a politician.  Like almost everyone else in the GOP lining up for 2016, the question comes: why are you running.  The answer: overwhelming, over weaning self regard! -- Nuggetsman
