No, he will not. Ads don't win elections. Paying people to pretend isn't exactly a winning tactic, either.
Mitt Romney is Bob Dole and John Kerry, a generic figurehead who don't really have what it takes to defeat an incumbent. His multiple positions on issues can be played up heavily, because it makes him look like an opportunist. No one goes from being somewhat moderate to far-right in a few years. Those reasons are why he won't even be the nominee, there is absolutely no way his primary opponents are not going to hit him on his waffling. Even if he does manage to be the nominee, he's not going to have a big, easy win.
The recovery is still on track, so realistically, unemployment is going to go down and that's not good news for any Republican candidate.
