That's what David Brody sees. The reason? The increasing likelihood that the stimulus doesn't work. Romney, then, is the perfect foil for economic hard times.
As exciting as this new poll is, I enjoyed the PAC money totals the best. That is where people are really voting with their money. Romney is just chugging along and has not missed a beat. We need to continue to support him and those whom he supports.
One slight problem I see developing even now is that Massachusetts' health care system is out of control. Pawlenty just hit hard on the cost having tripled on that plan in 36 months. I think Gov. Romney needs to get out in front of this b/c all Republican contenders and Obama will try to hit him on this regarding its failure.
For people who really look at the history and how things transpired in MA it's hard to blame Mitt IMO. The Dem legislature overrode all of his vetoes, and then the new Gov made the plan more expensive by expanding coverages.
And it hasn't "failed" yet. There are many successes in the plan. http://www.freestrongamerica.com/spotlight/item/8
Mitt even outlined this during the debates in early 08, said the new governor was adding some "bells and whistles" to it, but he would've vetoed those. It won't be hard for him to get his hands on the vid of that and make it clear that he opposed the kind of polices that turned it into a train wreck.
