MITT ROMNEY TO RE-EMERGE IN PUBLIC POLITICAL SPEECH NEXT MONTH.............

Mitt Romney the 2012 Republican Presidential Nominee, who unsuccessfully challenged President Obama's re-election, will return to the public spotlight of the political stage next month, as one of the announced speakers at C-PAC, the Conservative Political Action Committee annual conference near Washington, D.C.  Romney spoke at C-PAC in 2008, where and when he withdrew from the race for the President, he was seeking in the GOP Primaries against Senator John McCain.  As the presumptive Republican nominee for Presudent last year, Romney declared in his speech to C-PAC, that he had been, "a severely conservative Governor", of Massachusetts.  The 2013 C-PAC Conference is also scheduled to feature  Representative Paul Ryan of Wisconsin, Romney's 2012 Vice Presidential running mate; Senator Marco Rubio of Florida; former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin, the 2008 GOP Vice Presidential nominee; former Florida Governor Jeb Bush; former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich; and National Rifle Association CEO Wayne LaPierre or President David Keene, if not both of them.  Ryan, Rubio, Bush, and Palin, are all prospective candidates for the 2016 Republican nomination contest for the White House.  How Romney, Gingrich and LaPierre's speeches to C-PAC in mid March, three years in advance of the next Presidential primaries and caucuses, will impact or influence the speeches by Ryan, Rubio, Bush, Palin, and other potential GOP contenders will provide initial insight into how the Republican prospects for recapturing the Presidency will take shape over the next three years and just how effective a titular head of the Republican Party former Governor Romney remains.............Fr.  Troy
