“I’m not running. I’m not planning on running,” says Mitt Romney about 2016 presidential speculation. Recent polls have shown that the 2012 GOP nominee would have great appeal among Republican voters should he choose to throw his hat into the ring once more.

But the former Massachusetts governor, appearing on Fox News Sunday, insisted that he will be participating in the campaign only in a supportive role: “I’m going to be supporting our nominee — hopefully a strong individual that’s able to take our message to the American people and get this country back on track for the people who need help, and there are a lot of people who do.”
