Secret Daily Kos scheme to draft Mitt Romney for Senate hits major snag

With former U.S. Senator Scott Brown bowing out of the upcoming special election in Massachusetts for John Kerry's U.S. Senate seat, I came up with a terrific idea: Republicans should run Mitt Romney in Brown's place.

The thing is, Romney says he doesn't want to run, meaning the only way to get him to run would be to draft him. Undaunted, I went to Twitter and launched the #DraftRomney hashtag, because everybody knows every successful political movement begins with a hashtag. Tragically, my dreams were crushed moments later when somebody tweeted back at me:

@jedlewison Mitt hears the word draft and he run to France!!!

Sad, but probably true. Au revoir, Mitt.
