The ads help. The money helps. But the fact remains, Mitt Romney is outworking the rest of the field and the public in NH, IA, MI and SC has noticed this. He is aggressively asking for people's votes on a personal level and no one else in the race has done the same to this degree. This is the kind of work any candidate who wants to beat Hillary or whomever the Democrats nominate. If we want to control the White House, we need to work hard to earn it and thus far, Mitt Romney is the one and only candidate on the Republican side that has shown a willingness put forward the kind of effort and energy critical to accomplishing this task.

I believe that there are a lot of republican likely voters who might like Fred, or Hunter, or Huckabee....anyone but Rootie, and these voters are starting to move towards the frontrunners and Mitt is probably picking up that support.

Well, Duncan Hunter is certainly my first choice, but a Romney/Hunter ticket would have some appeal.

Buying all the people you can buy helps. If there is a surge, could be just a wet dream.

romneys billions? You'd have to add in his friends from Bain to get to a billion.....
They might come in handy for some 527 counter attack to Soros and Clinton Inc.

You make sense. He is really working hard. He will probably win the nomination. His ads, his money, his organization, his looks, his virtue, all that.
Nevertheless, if enough conservatives trust him as little as I do, he will lose the election.

Just remember...Howard Dean was in 1st place right up to Iowa, where he bombed...big time. Romney is an empty suit and will crumble in the end.
Thompson, although starting slow, is picking up speed and will run them all over.

This is the real reason Mitt is surging...

Rootie seems to be sliding from a peak.
Fred (my choice) needs to get his act together, attack, and sound less of a bore.
I was starting to lean towards Huckabee.
Romney is just banging away, and doing a good job of it too.
This is very wide open, the fat lady is not even warming up yet.

Romney is like Bill Clinton in this respect.
The more people see of Romney and the more Romney talks the more likely people will be to vote for him.
Senator John Kerry was the opposite. - Tom

It is simple - he is the only Republican left in the race. Rudy is a liberal, Thompson is asleep, and the rest are all clowns with delusions down in single digits. Except oh, so is Thompson.
