Romney is a fool not to run. He has no chance of winning, but so what? The point wouldn't be to win, it would be to sieze the stage as the nation's great advocate for conservative values with the guts to finance his own doomed campaign for the Senate seat of the liberal lion, Ted Kennedy.
This is a once in a lifetime opportunity for Romney to prove to the doubters that he is truly dedicated to what we believe in. He should run, and he should run an entirely positive campaign based on ideas. He will lose, but if he loses with valor he will earn my respect and the respect of many others. He would show his conversions were real and that he is willing to take risks to defend them.
The knock on Romney is that he cares about winning, not ideas. He could end that talk by running a campaign with no chance of winning solely because it gave him a high profile stage to talk about ideas and an opportunity to change a few minds.
