Mitt Romney to Rejoin the National Dialogue

More than half a year after his election loss, Mitt Romney is putting a tentative foot back onto the public stage.

Restless, a little wistful and sharply critical of President Barack Obama's second term, Mr. Romney said in an interview that he plans to re-emerge in ways that will "help shape national priorities." 

As a first step, the former Republican presidential nominee plans to welcome 200 friends and supporters to a three-day summit next week that he will host at a Utah mountain resort. 

He is considering writing a book and a series of opinion pieces, and has plans to campaign for 2014 candidates. But he is wary of overdoing it. "I'm not going to be bothering the airwaves with a constant series of speeches," he told The Wall Street Journal, speaking from his home in La Jolla, Calif. [...]

Mr. Romney said he sees the session as a chance "to exchange views and update our thinking about where the world is headed and what the national agenda ought to be." For now, he is thinking in broad strokes, ticking off global youth unemployment, U.S. competitiveness and declining family structures as interests.

Attendees will include three potential 2016 Republican contenders who are flying in to speak: Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky, Rep. Paul Ryan of Wisconsin and New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie.
