For what it's worth, this longtime observer doesn't think Romney is figuring on a long haul at all. He is the Olympian and depending on his underhordes to put on a SURGE now that will have the nomination locked in long before the promaries even begin. Having been brainwashed into suddenly becoming pro-life, he is sanitized and should be acceptable to all lesser lights. Follow the money. Listen to the sycophantic pundits.
That's your opinion but it is wrong.
Brainwashed? That's classy.
