Better late than never on this story…From The Fix’s Chris Cillizza, the top five’s. Here’s Romney’s section from the story.
Mitt Romney: The recent rollout of Romney’s Iowa team was impressive both in the depth and quality of people the Massachusetts governor has recruited to his cause. And we’ve been assured that there are plenty more influential Iowans with Romney who didn’t feel comfortable going public just yet. Like Warner, Romney is hungry and is working at multiple levels to shore up support. With Allen tied up in his reelection race, Romney has solidified his spot as the most likely McCain alternative. We tend to believe the potential negative effect of Romney’s Mormon faith is overblown, but his multiple past positions on abortion are not drawing nearly the focus now that they will in the coming 18 months. Still, we’ve been impressed by Romney’s tacit recognition of his potential flaws and diligence in addressing them.
