But, now that you mention 'romney' - he's 'likely' to be the nominee at this point - simply because he has more money, has polled better than others for a longer time, and seems to have the backing of most of the GOP insiders. All while conservative voters polled are all over the map, unable to get behind a single candidate other than 'romney.'
Same here on FR - there seems to be little strong consensus, or argument for any of the candidates.
The bloody media has done a great job of marginalizing every candidate other than 'romney' - and the GOP in VA is doing its best to marginalize all candidates, other than 'romney' and crazy Paul.

Lose to Obama in the general election.
Obamacare is lost as an issue. Romneycare was a key model for Obamacare.
More importantly, Romney has shown no ability to really take on the opposition and the media (but I repeat myself). Newt has. This is key for a Republican candidate. And since he is a large part of the topic of this thread, it is also something that Reagan was very good at. This same ability is an important part of why so many were big Herman Cain supporters, until his campaign imploded.
