Is Mitt Romney unstoppable?

politico:

With Mitt Romney winning the NH Primary, David Mark asks in the Arena: How much closer does this bring Romney to being the Republican nominee? Can any of his rivals realistically stop him in South Carolina, Florida or beyond? And which of them is the most likely to drop out?

Romney’s candidacy has inspired the level of enthusiastic support usually reserved for statements like, “Let’s just stay in and order takeout” or “Feel free to change the channel if you can find the remote.” If he’s the consensus candidate, this is the kind of delicate and grudging consensus that could get upset if somebody finds, say, a pizza in the freezer.

  4. practicalrepublican answered: Ron Paul needs to leave, but Newt is the only one who can really stop Romney!
  5. notredorblue answered: The way this has been going, i wouldn’t be surprised if someone new entered the race and became the leader.
  6. navystrength answered: of course not. Ron Paul can still upset, like Obama did with Clinton in 2008.
  7. wideplace answered: Nope. Romney will definitely be the nominee. And the next president.

  12. ashbashcrashed answered: He won’t beat Obama.
  13. yarroww answered: Obama will still destroy Romney. It seems important to remember that four years ago, Romney lost to McCain, so he already is second best.

  16. brownboss answered: Paul is lead strong behind Romney. He hasn’t ruled out an Independent run. It would be wise for Romney to make Paul his VP nomination.
  17. cosmeticdirt answered: Mitt Romney has been in the same place this entire race.. The front. Not that I support his politics, but realistically he will be the nom..
  18. othreeanonymous answered: Realistically, Romney will be the nominee.

  25. johannescourtens answered: Hahahahaha… I hope that’s a joke.
  26. kaleidotroph answered: Romney has always been the most realistic candidate, but the GOP simply does not want him as the face of the party…he will have to be.
