Romney can buy up all the ads to win a couple of primaries, but he can't get any traction nationally.
You can pour cash into a few key states early on, but people aren't going to go to the polls if you seem like the inevitable winner and they don't care for you.
Romney has mistaken rape for seduction, a mugging for persuasion.
There is no mistake about victory. If the strategy wins, it wins. If it gathers the non political junkies via TV, then he is victorious.
The man is running a very crisp campaign. He’s a brilliant guy.
Ansell’s chart is very compelling and what you say about Romney’s lack of national traction is true, so far. But things could change fast if Romney wins Iowa and New Hampshire. I wouldn’t write Romney off just because his national poll numbers so far don’t look all that great.
I think the race is going to come down to Romney vs. Thompson, and though I do believe Thompson will win, still, it could end up being a tight race.
As for the G-man, I think he’s going to fade. The others aren’t even contenders.
