RALEIGH - Mitt Romney will not be running for president next year. As Romney reached out to members of his former team in recent weeks, he discovered that several of his past fundraisers had already committed to supporting Jeb Bush next year.
David Rohde professor of political science at Duke University on whether or not Romney's announcement gives Bush a boost.
"I think it does for the establishment segment of the party. It's really down pretty much to Bush and Chris Christie now."
Rohde notes that what this doesn't settle is the relative strength of the establishment wing of the Republican Party versus versus the conservative wing.
