The support for Romney is unenthusiastic. Romney is kind of like taking your cousin to the prom. You don't want to do it but you know he is there if all other options fail.
So far, it looks like Republicans will be taking their cousin to the prom
The primaries will decide that. It all depends on who has the better campaign.
The press wants Romney, which is why most Repugs don't want him. We don't need another McCain backing down to Obama after the primaries.
Newt is the better candidate and the press will be attempting to bring him down.
Personally I'm for giving the press a big shit-sandwich with a win by Newt. It would also tickle me to no end if the prospect rubbed you the wrong way as well.
Newt will never be President of the United States.
