I know it is highly unlikely, however I thought I would float it.

Why doesn't the campaign approach Romney with a deal. Offer him a Cabinet seat if he will bow out before Super Tuesday and Endorse Paul. I know it sounds kinda crazy, but hear me out.

Romney has spent millions of dollars from supporters and his own pocket and has been rejected. Maybe he has realized this, or maybe he is just bull headed. However he does have a fairly large base of support. Those supporters could easily accept Paul as their choice, if Romney had a "revelation" about the irresponsibility of McCain's foreign policy. He could tout how Paul's Strong National Defense is the closest one to the prudent FP of Reagan, and in the Economic climate, we must make tough spending cuts in Foreign policy and Domestic Policy.

Paul could go further to explain how he is the only candidate with a broad appeal to Fiscal, Social, and National Security conservatives. How he is the only candidate who can bring the Conservative Coalition together. And that is our only chance to beat the Dems in a year when they are energized to vote out of hatred for Bush. We must energize our conservative coalition in all sectors, and redefine the party as the only Responsible choice in order to steal the Independents from the Dems and win.

Feedback?
 
This must be a renewed effort, because he is dropping out. He hasn't decided who to endorse. Tell him the best way to keep McCain from winning is to keep it a three way race, by endorsing Paul.
 
I'd give him Sec State in a heartbeat.

Of course I'd give myself a million dollars in a heartbeat too.

I don't have the power to do either thing though.
 
No chance.

Mitt Romney probably wants a future in establishment politics.

That said, although Mitt is philosophically bankrupt, he would make a great functionary in government. If President Paul told him to cut an Agency in half within 2 years, Mitt would probably find a great way to achieve that.
 
I actually wouldn't mind Romney if it wasn't for his foreign policy. I think he'd be a good choice for some position; not to mention the added publicity... And he mentioned before that Huckabee and McCain were working against him, how great would it be if he joined us to spite them?
 
Romney views R.P. in the same boat as Hillary and Obama - the people who want to "surrender in Iraq" and he is NOT going to let that happen. That was the whole point of his speech on why he was bowing out.
