Bloomington, Minn—Former Gov. Mitt Romney ruled out in a Cabinet post in a Sen. John McCain White House today and said he hasn’t thought about running for another elected office.

Romney, who stopped by a breakfast for the Massachusetts delegation, said he learned from his father that a Cabinet position could be a tough job.

“I saw my dad serve at the Cabinet and I learned something from that experience,” Romney said. “I want to work on the outside of the administration fighting for the values and the views that I think are essential to keep the country strong right now ... I certainly am not thinking about elected office right now, that’s for sure.”
