Romney’s been in the catbird seat this whole run, untouched. He’s accumulating cash, and positioning for a post-South Carolina primary roll that will be unstoppable. The best chance to stop him is a Christie or Giuliani entry, splitting the Establishment vote to let one Conservative candidate to slip through. Tough.

I agree. Seems to me the odds of gaining the nomination are something like:

Romney - 50%
Perry - 20%
Palin - 20%
Cain - 5%
All Others Combined - 5%
