Romney Alternative at a deadlocked convention?

"....Mitt Romney is still their man. These holdouts continue to hope that the former Massachusetts governor, who said in January he would not run for a third time, will change his mind. They believe he could dispel the chaos that has reigned over the Republican field for months. Though they gave plenty of money to Romney’s presidential campaigns, this year they’re keeping their wallets shut, waiting for him to reenter the fray. Dr. Greggory DeVore, who in 2012 raised more than $1 million for Romney, is one of these men. He’s even printed up Romney 2016 bumper stickers, and his black
Audi S8 has two pasted on the back. “Romney 2016,” they say. “I told you so — now let’s fix it.
The broader political class has been utterly dumbfounded by Trump’s continued popularity and by the success of another political outsider, the soft-spoken neurosurgeon Ben Carson. The situation has some Romney supporters envisioning a scenario in which the GOP heads into the Republican National Convention without a nominee and turns to Romney in a panic." NationalReview
