Romney Still Mum on 2012 Presidential Run
By the time Mitt Romney's "the door's still open" (and "No Apology" book promotion) tour landed at CNN Tuesday evening, the potential 2012 Republican presidential candidate had swapped the proverbial door for an option.
And he still was not answering THE question, the only thinginquiring minds political junkies want to know: Are you going to make another run for the White House?
"I don't have an answer for you yet because there are a lot of things you have to consider before you make that final decision. Clearly I'm doing the things like other folks are doing to keep to the option open," the former Massachusetts governor said in an interview with CNN's Piers Morgan.
Romney -- one of John McCain's primary opponents in 2008 -- began the day with a sit-down chat on ABC's morning show and capped it with a stand-up act, a good-sport reading of the "Top Ten" list on David Letterman's Late Night show.
All the while, Romney held out the enticing tease of another campaign in 2012. (He's one of many.)
So why can't he tell us already?
"There are matters of health, of support, the kind of network you're going to have... the things you've got to assess before you make the final decision," he said.
The once-and-possibly-future candidate may not have "a 100 percent answer" yet.
But it appears Mrs. Romney does.
"My wife thinks I should run. She's absolutely committed. She saying 'you gotta run. You got to have somebody who understands the world of the economy, small business, who can create jobs.' She's convinced I've got to run," he said.
With no scoops to be had, Morgan invited Romney to come back when he has more to say about his decision -- and to bring Mrs. Romney with him.
