Question of the week: The candidacy of mitt romney

In my mind, Mitt Romney has been the only "sane" republican candidate from the start. He's been the only one that I thought even had the slightest chance of getting the presidency. Right now, I think that the biggest thing that Romney has going for him is the fact that he's been for forerunner for so long. He one of the only candidates who hasn't messed up big time yet. When people think of him, they think of a guy who has had a pretty solid campaign throughout, and who, despite being a mormon, has had a good following for a very long time. I think that there are two big reasons that Romney could lose this race though. Firstly, he falling behind Gingrich right now. In the polls, people seem to like Gingrich more than they like Romney. This could change very soon, but if Gingrich keeps it up, then Romney could lose. Another thing that may play against him is his indecisiveness. One of the main points that the democrats are trying to hit home is that Romney has changed his platform more than once. I think that he needs to get a platform that he's ok with, otherwise people are going to remember him as the candidate who couldn't make up his mind.
