I assume by the "frontrunner", you mean Romney. He's from Massachusetts. Perry would not do well there so why assume Romney would do well in Texas? And Ron Paul is also from Texas, so no surprise he splits the centrist's voters with Perry.

Definitely, Romney seems slick and untrustworthy to many. He is the frontrunner in the media and has the finances to get his name out but to the educated republican, many don’t like him.
But he has GREAT hair! And Cain is basically bald with a moustache! Isn’t that what matters????
