To be virtually even with the incumbent four months away from the election is not a bad place to be. Romney may be a moderate, like McCain and Dole, but he appears to be more driven than those two unsuccessful Republican candidates. He has no day job in the Senate to fall back on. The fact that Romney is outstripping Obama in fundraising is indicative that a lot of wealthy individuals in the moderate to conservative categories, especially in the financial sector, who sat out 2008 are betting on a Romney win. It appears much of Obama's funding is coming from the reliably leftist entertainment and media businesses and the unions.

Romney's victory is far from a slam dunk but the signs are encouraging. The Mormon vote could well place Nevada, Arizona, and Colorado in the red category. The defeat of the recall election for Scott Walker bodes well for a GOP win in Wisconsin. Whoever carries Ohio and Florida will win the overall election.

Florida is a must win for Romney.

If Romney can pick off Michigan, then Ohio isn’t nearly as crucial.

If only that were true, I might consider Romney. Romney takes "moderate" positions to places that even McCain and Dole wouldn't touch.
