Mitt Romney in either great or horrible shape in 2012

Krugman notes that every major GOP 2012 presidential contender except Mitt Romney works for the Politburo, I mean, Fox News.

So, either he has no shot at the "anointing" from Fox that they all get, and therefor no chance at the GOP nomination.

Or, he can watch them all club each other, let Fox's anointing be seen as truly Faux, and win.

Or, he's going to run as Teapot Tommy (My Head is Flat) Friedman's Tea Kettle Party's candidate.

Hey, don't laugh at that last idea.

Mitt doesn't quite have Ross Perot money, but, he's got enough. Freed of pandering to Tea Partiers, and sounding saner than Perot, he could make quite the appeal.
