Almost no one of any importance has endorsed Romney
and I think this has really hurt. If there had been some sort of conservative groundswell after Florida, it would have made a huge difference. But there was none. And then McCain got a lot of endorsements, and suddenly he gets to be seen as the consensus candidate.
A lot of big players took a look at Romney, in his moment of dire need, and said "screw you." I think this was absolutely key. |

Romney really is the new kid on the block in national Repub politics. The results are not surprising, even if he hadn't veered to the right. McCain has been around for years. People are confortable with him (well as comfortable as one can be with McCain).
