Hmmm...sounds like racism to me.
Its the accepted brand of racism.

I find it funny that 21 people say "history suggests he dosent". Please tell me the history of people that ran for president more than once. Say like Nixon.
Romney ran twice. What does that have to do with Nixon?
Nixon ran against Kennedy. Lost, ran again. Won. History, read it.
Poll question says history says its not suggested he run again with any hope of winning. Like its a bad idea. I don't see it that way and history does not bear that out.What does that have to do with Romney? Romney ran twice. Lost the primaries, ran again, won the primaries, lost. History.

He's already run for POTUS twice. And lost both times.
Which President in the last 50 years ran for POTUS twice, and lost both times, and then came back to win on try #3?

That is not what the question said. Hell, Teddy Kennedy ran a million times. He was called the perennial candidate.
The D's should have pitted Gore against Bush for round two instead of that idiot Kerry.

The question dosent make those distinctions. Only that history gives him little chance. You can go all the way back to Teddy Roosevelt and find people that ran multiple times, some lost some won eventually.Nixon won, which seemed to be the point you're making when you said something about history and Nixon.
Unlike Nixon, Ted Kennedy also never won.
Remember your own post:

Nixon isn't comparable to Romney. He ran and lost only once.
History isn't on Romney's side, which is why those 21 answers are correct.
HE is, his handlers ran a lousy campaign.Because he was an amazingly qualified president?
Romney winning is a theoretical possibility, in that it doesn't violate any known law of physics. I don't think it's likely, though. He wasn't a very electable person.
Especially considering Gore actually got more votes than Bush did. I don't think Gore was a good candidate, but Kerry was duller than Gore and that's saying something.
Thanks to Florida, we saved the country from Mr Green Internet Global Warming Tobacco Farmer from becoming President following being a do nothing Vice President.

Wow, takes a lot of effort to nitpick like that. So, rephrased question:
What on earth makes you think he was the best qualified?
He ran multiple times. He did win again in 1904.Teddy Roosevelt didn't run for the Presidency until he was already President.
Because he has some heavy successful business experience so he knows the issues and problems associated with that, he has proved his ability to assess problems and address them in a constructive way, i.e. the 2002 Olympics, and he has demonstrated political skills and willingness and ability to build consensus and get things done regardless of the political party in power and within the existing laws. Who else is running who can claim those kinds of credentials?
