Why didn’t Perot or Forbes win then?
Neither Ross Perot nor Steve Forbes had been a governor. Likewise, while each of them was successful with his own company, neither of them had managed the multitude of groups that had to be made to work together for the Olympics to be successful. Mr. Romney's success has gone beyond just running his own company. His accomplishments may not be enough for him to win the nomination or the presidency, but he's done much more to position himself to be the right candidate than either of those others did.
