Third time's a charm?

After the 2012 election a friend of mine insisted that the likely GOP nominee in 2016 would be .... Mitt Romney. He said it was simply because he knew how to do it. I thought he was nuts.
Maybe not so nuts after all :
The day after Mitt Romney opened the door to another possible presidential run, a new poll shows he has a huge lead among likely 2016 Iowa Republican caucus voters.
According to a USA Today/Suffolk University poll released Wednesday, 35 percent of likely GOP caucus voters would vote for the 2012 GOP nominee in 2016. When Romney’s name was added to the pool, no other candidate received double-digit votes.
The survey comes as rumors have begun to swirl about a potential Romney bid for president in 2016. After months of insisting that he will not run again, the former Massachusetts governor on Tuesday acknowledged that “circumstances can change.”
Why not? It's not as if they have anyone better ...
