Top Tier


Townhall.com: Romney's work puts him in 2012 political spotlight

Mitt Romney is building toward a White House bid in 2012 by judiciously engaging and disengaging with the national debate.

The former Massachusetts governor and 2008 Republican presidential candidate is speaking at a political fundraiser Tuesday in Chicago. Other high-profile speaking events follow this week.

Despite those engagements and other signals that he's positioning himself for another presidential bid, Romney insists that "this is a quiet time."

But Republican strategist Mary Matalin says she can easily see a second campaign _ and a more successful one, at that.

And the dearth of a clear leader among Republicans has helped put him in the top tier of potential candidates.
