Even if Romney is egotistical enough to try again, there’s no way the party would stand for it. He’s been weighed in the balance and found wanting: His main virtue in the primaries this cycle was that he was the most electable, and then he went and got himself not elected. That leaves him with nothing at all to recommend him.
