Mitt Romney May Re-enter GOP Presidential Race, So Says His Son…

Josh Romney, one of Mitt Romney’s sons, made some news by suggesting that his father could return this election cycle as either a vice-presidential candidate or as a presidential candidate (if John McCain’s campaign “falters”).

Josh Romney is also mulling over a congressional bid in Utah’s second district.  I think Josh’s own political future is part of the reason he may have talked about a possible return of his father to the presidential trail (the reference to his father means that an otherwise minor story will get more attention).  I think it’s very unlikely that Gov. Romney returns as either a VP candidate or as a presidential candidate.

Josh also took a swipe at John McCain when he indicated that he will not likely campaign for McCain:

“It’s one thing to campaign for my dad, someone whose principles I line up with almost entirely.  I can’t say the same thing for Sen. McCain.”

Is Josh aware that the race is over?
