So runs a slate.com blog post by David Weigal. The writer argues, "Why not? Romney's got a mixed record as a politician, but nobody's ever questions his skill as a brutal operator and turnaround artist. He's got a good relationship with Republicans in the state—they even scrapped an electoral vote split plan in 2012 because they wanted him to win! He's got a larger Rolodex of possible investors than anyone else who might be reasonably expected to take this job."

Not surprisingly Fox News ran with that one.
On "Fox News Sunday," Washington Post opinion writer Charles Lane suggested the former GOP presidential nominee and turnaround expert at private equity firm Bain Capital should get the job of turning Detroit around.

"You do see that Mitt Romney is a person with a lot of ability and a lot of energy. Who still has got a lot to contribute, and, you know, his hometown of Detroit, right now, has just been put into state receivership or it's about to be," Lane said. "I wonder if there is no role for him in the restructuring of Detroit. He'd be the perfect person to do it. He has got the expertise, he's a hometown guy, and he is a kind of a political free agent at this point. That is the kind of thing that he could, I think, contribute in the future."

I can't imagine Mitt going for such a high risk situation with little financial gain for himself but, hey, he is being wistful about what 'could' have been according to this whine.

[QUOTE]Mitt Romney: “It Kills Me … Not to Be in the White House Doing What Needs To Be Done”

Maybe he could finally get his wish of "Let Detroit Go Bankrupt".
