Well, Romney appearsto be above 25 at the moment. 29 in rasmussen, 27 in Gallup. And rising in both.
He was stuck in the 20-25 range for a long time. Unfortunately, it seems like onne of the alternatives was really able to make their case and sustain it to enough people.
Cain is out. Bachmann is out. Perry may as well be out. Newt is falling fast. Santorum is the only one left. Maybe can do it, but he has his own issues. He got lucky in that no one gave him any attention all year so he ended up the last one standing in IA. We’ll see how he does.
But Romney appears to be on the upswing. A big win in NH will only help that.
SC will be the real key. If he wins there...
Mittens has had short term swings towards 30% before in select polls. Right now he is at 26% in the RCP averages which is still in his steady flat line. A win in NH will matter not for Mittens because everyone expects it.
Romney gives me nightmares about Court Appointees ... Northeast Liberal Republicans (Bush I) give us Justices like David Suter.
There will always be alternatives to voting for Romney.
He will find SC an unpleasant experience.
