I don't think Romney wins the nomination in 2016 given that a lot of the damage to his campaign in 2012 was arguably self-inflicted (primarily the 47% and "binders full of women" incidents).

Most likely Romney's only hope in 2016 would have been similar to 2012 where the more conservative candidates ended up cannibalizing the "anti-Romney" vote and taking swipes at themselves (Michele Bachmann's swipe at Herman Cain's 9-9-9 tax plan comes to mind) that whoever ended up as the alternative was too wounded to mount much of a challenge.
