Romney is moving into the first tier of the Republican field.

As we have been predicting, the nominee will be Romney, Thompson or Giuliani. At some point conservatives are going to have to back either Romney or Thompson to be certain to defeat Giuliani.

A Guiliani candidacy will split the Republican Party and Hillary will win the general. We cannot allow that to happen.

Good. That's where he belongs, the first teer.

The more I see Romney, the more I like him, and feel is the best package to defeat the Demwits.

Of course I like Hunter's politics, and would be glad to see him US President.

But Romney has the whole package, charisma, poise, personality, and yes, he is fairly conservative and always has been, despite what Romney haters here on FR say.

Unfortunately, the most conservative consistent candidate does not always make the BEST candidate to win the general election.<>Which of course requires the35-percent solid Republicans, plus at least half the independents, and a decent percentage of Democrats.

Hunter, as much as I like him, would only (I believe) attract the solid Republicans, and mainly the conservative ones at that.

His personality is such that a large "middle" vote does not seem in the cards.

And it pains me to say that, but that is what I firmly believe.
