Now, remember: Romney has built up plenty of IOU's in the Republican Party.
He's traveled the nation again and again supporting GOP candidates -- not the least of which was then-candidate (now Governor) Chris Christie here in New Jersey.
And Romney's Free and Strong America PAC has contributed plenty to Republican candidates.
On top of all that, Mitt Romney has the name recognition that makes him an instant contender for the presidency. Plus, he can raise the kind of money that will be needed to defeat President Obama -- a man who's aiming to raise ONE BILLION DOLLARS for his campaign.
Anyway, here's an excerpt from Politico about Romney's next moves:
A top Mitt Romney official told supporters on a conference call Thursday that the former Massachusetts governor is eyeing mid-to-late April to begin raising money for his eventual presidential campaign, according to call participantsClick here for more.
Spencer Zwick, Romney's chief liaison to the fundraising community, informed the group of donors and outside advisers that the governor won't launch a full-fledged campaign by the end of next month but would file the paperwork necessary with the FEC that will allow them to begin bringing in the cash needed to post a big number for the second quarter.
As the nearest thing the GOP has to a front-runner, Romney would like to push back the start of the full-blown presidential campaign for as long as possible, but he also must begin putting a more formalized fundraising infrastructure in place.
