Don't expect Michigan native Mitt Romney to come around these parts any time soon, telling us how much he loves the trees in Michigan, as he did during his campaign, and speaking of his fond memories of growing up here.
Wife Ann Romney says there's definitely no plans for Mitt to jump back into the presidential sweepstakes, according to Maeve Reston of the Los Angeles Times.
“Done,” she said, according to the paper. “Completely. Not only Mitt and I are done, but the kids are done,” she said, referring to her five sons. “Done. Done. Done.”

The Times then wrote:
Asked whether there were any circumstances under which she would encourage the former Massachusetts governor to attempt another run — or if she would support him if he wanted to run — she said she hadn't “been pushed to that point mentally,” but that they would make the decision together.
She reeled off a long list of what she called “really interesting” potential Republican contenders, including former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, Ohio Sen. Rob Portman and her husband’s 2012 choice for vice president, Rep. Paul D. Ryan of Wisconsin.
“We’re going to see a nice field shake out.”
The paper writes that on Tuesday, at Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston, the Romneys are launching the Ann Romney Center for Neurological Diseases, a research facility that will focus on finding cures and new treatments for Alzheimer’s disease, multiple sclerosis, Lou Gehrig’s disease (known as ALS), Parkinson’s disease and brain tumors.
