Does Bush remember losing in 1992? He lost in part because of the heat he received when he went back on his no new taxes pledge. Romney is probably going to be a similar disaster of a one term President if he is elected.Romney, Bush said, is the "most electable," despite the flip-flopping label that his Republican opponents are trying, with some success, to drape around his neck.
"It was a charge that was used against me," Bush said. '"No new taxes'? Remember that? I don't think it's significant. He's got a record as governor, and people change their mind. I don't take that criticism very seriously."

My favorite quote from the article is:
