It is still not a sure thing that Mitt Romney will run for president. No losing nominee has done so in decades. But it now seems more likely. The Washington Post reported on Monday that he was reassembling his campaign apparatus, and even told one Republican he “almost certainly will run.”

But even if Mr. Romney couldn’t attract enough support to win the nomination, he would complicate Mr. Bush’s path to the nomination. He could even provide an unlikely assist to Rand Paul.

Mr. Romney could win New Hampshire if he proves to be a strong candidate. If that happens, the effect on Mr. Bush’s chances is obvious. Without New Hampshire, Mr. Bush is likely to go 0 for 2 in the first two contests. Winning the nomination despite losing both Iowa and New Hampshire is not impossible, of course, but it would be hard.

Even if Mr. Romney doesn’t carry the state, he could win enough votes to deny Mr. Bush a victory there — perhaps handing the state to Rand Paul. Ron Paul, Mr. Paul’s father, won 23 percent of the vote in New Hampshire in 2012; even modest additional gains could allow the younger Mr. Paul to triumph over a divided field.

Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) is calling potential primary rival Mitt Romney "yesterday's news," in a preview of what could be his line of argument in a presidential campaign.

"Look I like Governor Romney, I like him personally, I think he’s a good person, I think he was a great businessman, but you know that’s yesterday’s news, he’s tried twice," Paul told Fox News radio's John Gibson on Monday.

Romney, the 2012 nominee, has told donors that he is heading toward a third run for president. Paul's criticism of Romney comes as he tries to paint himself as growing the Republican Party and presenting new ideas.

"I don’t really think that there is a third time out there," Paul said of Romney. "I think he did a lot of things right, but in the end you’ve got to have a bigger constituency, you’ve got to attract new people to win and I think it’s just time that probably the party’s going to be looking for something fresh and new."

Responding to the idea that Romney will run to the right of former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, who is also moving toward a run, Paul said, "If he runs to the right of Jeb Bush, he’ll still be to the left of the rest of the party, so it may be a difficult spot to occupy."

Paul pivoted to ideas he has been pushing on criminal justice reform and a less interventionist foreign policy.

"If we say the same old thing with the same old candidates, we’ll get the same old result, so I would say that some of the ideas that I have been talking about do attract new people to the party," he said.

"I’ve been talking about criminal justice, I’ve been talking about having a foreign policy that’s reasonable," he added. "I've been talking about trying to be more inclusive as a party, so I think a lot of those things are helping to grow the party."

Paul has shown a willingness to engage against other potential Republican candidates, and now adds Romney to the list.

Paul said that he would make a final decision on a run "sometime in the spring."

On Sunday’s broadcast of ABC’s This Week Democratic strategist and Clinton confidant James Carville predicted not only will Mitt Romney enter the presidential race, but that he will campaign as the “conservative alternative” to Jeb Bush. John Gibson asked Senator Rand Paul what he thought about it. The Senator laughs while responding “ if Mitt runs to the right of Jeb Bush he will still be to the left of the party, and that would a difficult spot to be in” Take a listen (about 4 minutes in)

Senator Paul also spoke about Keystone, telling Gibson he believes President Obama should get behind what he calls a real shovel ready project that has true bi-partisan support. Rand said a veto by President Obama will hurt the democrat party.

Plus: Paul talks about the rift between NYC Mayor de Blasio and the NYPD, the war on terror and the Paris Unity Rally.

I understand how furious you are, bagholder. But revenging me by words won't reduce your loss.

Your only way to win is to team up with strong hands just like me.

Show me respect and I may consider forgive your soul. But your dirty mouth may stay in hell forever forsure.

BTC is a shithole. But it makes money for me, not you.

I hope so. I'm ready to go back to the start.

And you are monumetally stupid.

Not sure if trolling about bitcoin or not....Translation?

sorry for the question guys but a site with no https and just http its more likely to have phising posibilities or gahtering your passes and stuff?
i do know its just a basic security but my browser does advise not entering there its a non https feauture

Hehe. That's the point I was going to make. Many people will purposely 'forget'. I guess bitcoin does make it easier to get away with but at the same time it doesn't make you 100% invisible, especially if you're not careful.

its a bitcoin forum. If you don't like bitcoin then why don't you just GTFO?

Right. As I've pointed out before, Bitcoin has had two major bubbles - Silk Road and China exchange controls. Both existed only because Bitcoin offered what seemed to be a safe way to do something illegal or restricted. Both collapsed once the relevant authorities figured out how to stop it.

Without a new large use case like those, it's downhill from here.
