Apparently CNN doesn’t think we have enough people running in a presidential election that’s 33 months away, so in separate interviews on Wednesday, the network asked both Mitt Romney and John Kerry if they’ll run again. “The answer is no, I’m not running for president in 2016. It’s time for someone else to take that responsibility and I’ll be supporting our nominee,” said Romney. The secretary of State was similarly Shermanesque. “I’m out of politics. I have no plans whatsoever; this is my last stop,” he said. Perhaps Al Gore or Bob Dole would be willing to provide America with the election rematch it’s longing for.
