WASHINGTON (AP) — Mitt Romney says he remains convinced that he could win the presidency. But Romney told supporters on a Friday conference call that a run would be a "difficult test and a hard fight."

In an indirect swipe at Bush, Romney says he hopes Republicans will turn to a fresh candidate to take on Democrats.
