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.
Yeah, he's racking up the endorsements, ain't he.

============================================================For a conservative, you don’t sound very concerned that through wealth and primary system finesse, a man with very little deep, popular support could squeeze out a win in the primary.
By queering the process we get a weak candidate, a demoralized conservative base, no particular passionate, widespread support, against a candidate that will have everything she needs to roll over an apathetic Republican electorate.
Romney’s numbers and fund raising at this point, suck after all this time, because as a candidate he does not bring in voters or donations, except for small numbers of large donors.
If he threads the needle between Fred and Rudy, he will not bring passion to the aftermath, and conservatives will stay home in mass.
Not true--if he wins in two or three states and expects that to carry him to the nomination, why is he consistently behind in the polls?

"Crisp"? How does one spend all those millions and stay stuck in 3rd or 4th place and be considered brilliant?

He may be brilliant. But that does not mean he will win. After what I heard Rush report yesterday about the socialist type health care in Mass, Romney sure does not sound so good! Wish I could link to the article, but would have to listen to yesterday’s program again to catch the title of the article Rush read. Maybe someone else has the link or remembers where the article came from.
Overall, I think the Romney campaign can feel okay about the way this quarter's fundraising numbers shook out. Granted, everyone in the GOP is concerned that their candidates are getting lapped by the Democratic field. But, among Republicans, Romney was probably close enough to Giuliani to call it a wash (nearly $10 million to around $11 million)....
Had Romney not gotten so close to Rudy in contributions from people not named Mitt Romney, I think the Giuliani people could have begun to argue that their opponent's campaign was only being sustained by his own bank account. But, as it stands, Romney can argue that he's doing everything Giuliani is, fundraising-wise, plus going the additional step of making an "investment" of his own.
