Romney's problems: health insurance legislation; abortion; Mormon.
He will finesse the health care issue: arguing that (1) health care costs are slowing, (2) reform some of the parts ~ he will have a majority of Americans with him.
He will land squarely in the centrist majority: Americans as a whole approve of nationally regulated and restrictive abortion. The only way it could be used against him in the national campaign would require join action by the small minorites that believe either all abortion is wrong or abortion on demand is right.
Romney, a Mormon, running against Palin, a far right conservative Christian, out polls her by 22%.
The issue is not at all if he can win the election (he has a good chance) but if he can win the nomination (that is problematic).
