Romney, after someone in the press asked him about Palin beating him in late night ratings.  Heh. 

I like Romney, don't get me wrong, I don't want him to be president (though I'd have taken him over McCain in the late 2008 primaries), but I think there's a role for him in the GOP.  I still think he'd be an awesome choice for RNC chair, if he didn't pull a Steele and try and get too active in policy.  Romney is an excellent organizer and fundraiser, always has been, always will be, and I don't think he'd say dumb, crazy shit like Steele does.  Besides, he's not going to escape the Romneycare legacy, not with the Obamacare fiasco, no matter what happens with it.  It might have been necessary politics in the Soviet of Massachusetts, but it ain't gonna fly in the flyover country and the bitter, clingy parts of the US.

He also clarified his statement regarding populism, he meant it as a warning against mindless populist demagoguery, which is absolutely a valid concern.
