It strikes me as being rather odd. Today we find out that he was not, in fact, in Appalachia, but instead was in Argentina. Argentina?? Over Father's Day weekend without the kids or the spouse? Weird. I know the man is entitled to some privacy, but disappearing just seems to be erratic behavior. Maybe he really doesn't have his eyes set on a presidental run, because if he does, this is really unadvisable behavior.

Yes, very strange. I think he can kiss a presidential run goodbye.
Powell - check
Ensign - check
Sanford - check
Palin - almost check
Huckabee - pending
Barber - pending
Jindal - pendingGive 'em Hell, Cougars!!!
For all this His anger is not turned away, but His hand is stretched out still.
Not long ago an obituary appeared in the Salt Lake Tribune that said the recently departed had "died doing what he enjoyed most—watching BYU lose."

I think Jindal lacks the clout. I think the main thing going for him was the diversity card, but after his disasterous rebuttal a few months ago, he lost a lot of steam and support. He's young and energetic, but I don't see a lot of people still standing behind him.Originally posted by Jarid in Cedar View Post
And I really wish Palin and Huckabee would just get the f*** out. They are lightweights and opportunists and do the Republican party a disservice.Comment

Is anybody else watching this?
C'mon gov'ner, just tell us what happened.Give 'em Hell, Cougars!!!

Jindal's public speaking ability sucks.Originally posted by Jarid in Cedar View Post
If he can't fix that, he's dead in the water.

I think Romney is still one of the best choices out there.Comment

There you go, another unfaithful politician.
Again, at least he didn't bring his wife out. It looks like Repubs are good about that.Give 'em Hell, Cougars!!!

Jindal does lack clout, but he is going to be a player for awhile. Amen on Palin and Huckabee. Honestly, where does Romney fit unto the current foray. He has been keeping his head down.Originally posted by I.J.

Not surprising. Philandering and politics have always gone hand in hand. It's just harder to hide it these days. Of course, it's tough to hide when you take a weekender to Buenos Aires without the wife and kids over Father's Day weekend.Originally posted by myboynoah View PostComment

I have a pet theory on why he stepped down when he did. I think the republican party saw the writing on the wall that they were going to lose in 2008. They saw Romney as a legitimate candidate for the future, but didn't want to see him bloodied and diminished in a losing ccampaign. So they asked Mitt to step aside and let McCain get the nomination as a sort of "you've been trying long enough so its your turn" gesture(ala Dole '96), and offered him up as a sacrificial lamb to Obamamania.Originally posted by Indy Coug View Post"The first thing I learned upon becoming a head coach after fifteen years as an assistant was the enormous difference between making a suggestion and making a decision."

As many times as I've heard this theory, and as much as I'd like to believe it, I can't help but believe that it's more than a fabrication by Romney supporters who don't want to admit that Mitt is too robotic and unpersonable to ever get the support necessary to be the party front man.

Or he saw that there was no realistic path to the nomination and like the smart businessman that he is, cut his losses.Originally posted by Jarid in Cedar View Post
It didn't seem like either party saw the writing on the wall back in February. They were still both focused on the war in Iraq back then.Comment
