Fourth, an article by Jay Caruso:

The odds of Governor Romney’s running are probably slim.  The odds of his winning are likely even slimmer.

 

But the country desperately needs somebody with integrity, competence, and character in the White House — attributes that neither Mrs. Clinton nor Mr. Trump can offer.

 

Mitt Romney would reinsert those qualities into the presidential race.

 

Reihan Salam was already making this argument back on 11 March:

I confess to being deeply depressed about our current prospects for the White House.  An insurgent third-party bid by Mitt Romney would energize me tremendously, and I doubt that I would be alone.

 

Mitt, your country needs you.
