Romney can spend all he wants to but I really suspect even the RINOs in the party would think twice about supporting him given that heinous MA ‘health care’ failure. Talk about a gorilla on one’s back! How does Romney talk his way out of that mess? He’s already smarmy to listen to and just seems untrustworthy, though eons ago I thought he sounded like a good bet for the GOP.
I will tell you that I know a bunch of white male republicans and independents who like Romney because of his perceived success in business.
But don’t forget there’s also that pesky Mormon issue that tends to crop up. I don’t think he’s a shoo-in at all.
There is no question that he is draining the resources of talent and donors and sucking the air out of any media that lesser players might be getting, Romney queered the 2008 primary field by doing this same thing in a smaller version, he ran off any serious conservatives that decided his financial backing was to daunting to overcome.
Romney can definitely queer the 2012 election as well.
