Online Petition To Get Romney To Run For President

(Salt Lake City, UT) — An online petition is calling on Utah Senator Mitt Romney and West Virginia Senator Joe Manchin to launch a bipartisan presidential ticket.

As of yesterday afternoon, the petition had more than 860 signatures. Utah’s Romney previously ran unsuccessfully for president in 2012.
