In the Republican debates Mitt has simply stood out as more energetic, better looking, better spoken, and much more exciting than anyone else on stage.
Anyone the Democrats put up one-on-one in a debate with Mitt is going to look pretty lame. I discovered him a couple of months ago and the more you learn about him, the more you like him. His detractors lie and distort his record. He also has the proven ability to pull support from across the aisle.
He has the right stuff!

I agree, and I do like Mitt Romney (though I still withhold judgment on who I actually support - it’s over six months until the primaries, for Pete’s sake!), but basing the decision on the factors you outline above is falling for slick marketing and packaging. I think we should be looking more at substance.
