WASHINGTON – Mitt Romney is emerging as the man to catch in the narrowing Republican presidential field, grabbing a clear head start in fundraising, organization and experience despite vulnerabilities that still might undo him.

With Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels becoming the latest respected Republican to forgo a candidacy, many party insiders say the field is largely set. And Romney, the former Massachusetts governor and Olympic Games organizer, is in front.

"It's Romney's to lose," said Scott Reed, a GOP consultant who managed Bob Dole's presidential campaign. He said Romney's biggest advantages are his personal wealth, fundraising know-how and experience as a 2008 contender, when John McCain won the nomination.

Romney for Obama in 2008

Late in October, The American Spectator's The Prowler revealed:
"Former Mitt Romney presidential campaign staffers…
have been involved in spreading anti-Palin spin to reporters, seeking to diminish her standing after the election.
'Sarah Palin is a lightweight, she won't be the first, not even the third, person people will think of when it comes to 2012,'
says one former Romney aide…
'The only serious candidate ready to challenge to lead the Republican Party is Mitt Romney.
"Some former Romney aides were behind the recent leaks to media, including CNN, that Governor Sarah Palin was a 'diva' and was going off message intentionally."

---

The Palmetto Scoop reported: "One of the first stories to hit the national airwaves was
the claim of a major internal strife between close McCain aides and the folks handling his running mate Sarah Palin."
"I’m told by very good sources that this was indeed the case and that a rift had developed, but it was between Palin’s people and the staffers brought on from the failed presidential campaign of former Gov. Mitt Romney, not McCain aides."
"The sources said nearly 80 percent of Romney’s former staff was absorbed by McCain and these individuals were responsible for what amounts to a premeditated, last-minute sabotage of Palin."
… aides loyal to Romney inside the McCain campaign, said The Scoop, reportedly saw
that Palin would be a serious contender for the Republican nomination in 2012 or 2016, which made her a threat to another presidential quest by Romney.

---

"These staffers are now out trying to finish her off ….hoping it would ingratiate themselves with Mitt Romney."

---

"Who's the Palin Leaker from the McCain Campaign?
National Review Online The publication of a Vanity Fair profile of Sarah Palin
appears to have opened old wounds in the McCain campaign.
... the source of the “Diva” leak was Nicolle Wallace’s husband."

Everytime I see ‘AP” and ‘GOP’ in the same headline, it does not even surprise me anymore they would LIE to their teeth and lecture us who the “frontrunners” are...

Eff Yahoo. I use their mail system but their headlines are FOS.

I'd certainly put a lot of stock in the opinions of someone who managed the campaign of Bob ‘it's my turn now’ Dole. That was sure a rip roarin’ success. /s

[240B]

More MSM shilling for Romney. They are doing it again.

They are setting the stage so that no matter who wins, there will still be a Liberal in office. They’re trying to pull a McCain again.

Nope, not this time. If the RNC does another McCain on us, they are sunk as a political entity.

"Analysis: Romney is the guy to catch in GOP field (Hurl Up A Lung Alert)"

If not for Romney Care, I'd vote for the guy myself. But this did him in, he's just too proud to figure it out yet. He says he felt that with Massachusetts having only 4 Republicans in their Senate, his veto would be easily overridden. Hence, he says he took out as many bad things as he could possibly do in return for signing it. And though that's likely true, he should have just vetoed it anyway. It's unconstitutional, and it reaches into the pockets of anyone who doesn't have health care with a hefty fine, a fine that increases every year until you get insurance. And there's no way around it, Romney Care forces each tax paying citizen of MA to enter the name and code number of their medical insurer. If you fail to do that, you're fined. So he used the states' version of the IRS to enforce an unconstitutional, stinking piece of legislature. As President he'd be another Obama, but with a brain. Now THAT'S dangerous.

Heard that...I just can’t get behind the guy at all.

Analysis: Romney is the guy to catch in GOP field

Bwahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha . . . . . . . . the DBM is getting an early start selecting our candidates for us. IMO, Romney will be no more successful in 2012 than he was in '08.

If this vile snake is peddling Mittens then we need to fight in the primaries to keep the father of Obamacare far away from the GOP convention hall.

[PieterCasparzen]

IMHO...

And he will lose, because the core of conservatives won’t vote for him.

Making him the Repub nominee just means the Repub political machine a) has not had enough of nobama driving the nation/world off a cliff to understand that we need to CHANGE DIRECTION and b) doesn’t “get” that far too many Repubs are SICK of their compromising which drives us off the same cliff - just slower.

Anyone else notice the emerging trend in most of liberal media? They love Romney. =.=

[Diogenesis]

"Despite outspending his rivals by huge margins throughout the primaries,
(Mitt Romney, Carpetbagger UT,CA,MA,NH,Mexico) lost Iowa, South Carolina, Florida and California.
The only primaries he won were in Michigan, where Dad was governor; LDS states;
and a few states on Super Tuesday in which his California-obsessed rivals
couldn't spare the cash to advertise.
Only John Connolly in 1968 had a worse cash-to-delegates ratio.
And John McCain rightly did not like Romney's tactics during the primaries.
(W)hen (Romney's early leads) started slipping away, he resorted to unfair,
distorted, scorched-earth negative ads, betting that his opponents couldn't
afford to spend enough for the truth to catch up to his charges."
