The problem with that is how Romney stacked his cards this time... he made himself a despised character the last 2 months of his campaign (by all those who didn't support him) and he'll be ill-pressed to show back up for the presidency and do well.

I think by and large, GOPers are hoping someone develops as the presidential candidate they wish they had in this race by 2012. Don't get me wrong, I'm a HUGE McCainiac and I think people who didn't already like him are slowly going to turn to him for whatever reason, but I think on the GOP side, Americans are going to be looking for someone else. Not Romney who they knew they couldn't sell to a national audience anyway.
