ORIGINAL: willbeurdaddy Romney is the only viable candidate from the current group. The only chance that he doesnt get it is if someone is drafted at the convention, and thats highly unlikely. That he remains around 25% despite the surges by other candidates is more important than him not increasing his lead. The only polls that count right now are those vs Obama, and he show's the strongest of anybody in those. Romney's problem is that he's the strongest candidate to oppose Obama in the general, but his party doesn't like him. It's a weird situation, in which Romney's popularity has stayed solid as a rock, while the other flavors-of-the-week have zoomed up to eclipse him, and then spectacularly shot down shortly after. I see him winning NH strongly, but anyone winning Iowa will give him a good run. quote:

ORIGINAL: willbeurdaddy Romney/Rubio. Bank it. I agree with Romney. Please explain your rationale for Rubio. Secures Florida, pulls some of the Hispanic vote from the rest of the country. Bonafide social conservative to balance Romney's more centrist tendencies. I agree with most of your logic, but I think the Hispanic bloc is more fragmented than that. The Cuban-Americans are traditionally GOP, so he wouldn't deliver much there. Florida is of course a major battleground, so there is that appeal, and Romney would indeed need to shore up the cons in the party.
