WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) — Good news for former presidential candidate Mitt Romney. Good news, that is, if he’s thinking about running for president again.

Head and shoulders above the pack: Romney was the top Republican presidential contender in New Hampshire if he wanted to run, according to a Bloomberg Politics/St. Anselm New Hampshire poll released Monday. Romney had a 19-point lead over other possible Republican challengers, including Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush. Without Romney, the race among Republican contenders narrows considerably. Christie and Paul tied with 16% and Bush was close behind with 14%.
