WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The good news, Republican Mitt Romney is that he is now a package for the party's 2012 presidential nomination of candidates compete for the leader. The bad news is, he still insisted on the package.
Romney's path to take President Obama in November 2012 has now become clear, gentle fellow New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie chose not to run.
His challenge is from the main competitor to convince his Republican Rick Perry and the support of various factions, he was the most electable Republican for Obama to run.
This may not be as easy as it sounds.
Perry's third quarter $ 17 million, possibly more than Romney, he has not released the total number, but may have raised about $ 13 million.
Romney has done a lot of work to convince conservatives to support him tea party still supported the conservatives, such as Texas Gov. Rick Perry or the possibility of attractive businessman Herman Cain, who has been the surge in the late , but who most experts believe will eventually fade.
"I think at this point in time should not be dismissed Perry," said Ed Rollins, former presidential candidate 米歇尔巴赫曼 campaign manager. "In the end of the day, the two of them with the resources, organization and financing to the long-term battle."
Romney is considered a better candidate this year than he was in 2008, when he lost the nomination battle Senator John McCain. He has delivered more clearly the center of the debate performances and run into the U.S. economy did not respond to every attack, throwing his way, as happened four years ago, a more focused campaign.
"I do not think there is any doubt, gloves run a very disciplined campaign, you see him put one foot in front of the other, I think he learned a lot from the 2008 campaign," McCain told Reuters reporters.
Did not take sides in 2012 election, McCain said, Christie's decided not to run, is bound to help Mitt Romney, but will need several weeks to determine the Christie's supporters have landed.
Debate on the horizon
Romney has not been able to establish a big lead. A 昆尼皮亚克 University in Wednesday's survey found that 22 percent of Republican voters support Romney, 17% and 14% from the Perry Cain.
His supporters believe he will eventually get broader support, because he is often cited in the survey, their preferred candidate's second choice of voters, and Perry had two shaky debate performance with a rough a few weeks.
Front will become more clear candidate for the post-conflict again in October 11 and 18 in New Hampshire and Nevada debate, and began to power in January for the first time the nomination contests.
