Mitt Romney “made a wistful but triumphant return” to the Conservative Political Action Conference, “receiving standing ovations from the audience as he expressed optimism about the Republican Party’s future and vowed to work with conservatives to achieve ‘larger victories’ after failing to win last year’s presidential election,” the Washington Post reports.
National Journal: “His first public speech since his November defeat was as lackluster as most of his stump speeches and as about as forgettable as his candidacy. He will be better remembered for what he did wrong (’47 percent’ and ‘self-deportation’) than what he did right (his first debate against President Obama). He was a transitional, not a transformational nominee.”
Romney acknowledged that himself: “As someone who just lost the last election, I’m probably not the person to chart the course for the next one.”
