........................."Romney, it appears, is confident the prize is his. The RNC finance co-chair practically declared Romney’s candidacy a while back, so it’s understandable the governor feels entitled. Power brokers are backing Romney; some of them are people I respect.
Of course some of those brokers would’ve gladly tried to shoo former Florida Governor Charlie Crist into the US Senate seat Sen. Marco Rubio won. That race was a classic moment in political history. Crist showed his true colors by ending his Republican Party affiliation. So much for integrity—you see you’re going to lose, so you jump ship in hopes of a shot at swimming to shore. Crist, the 'moderate', lost anyway—Main Street saw to that. We fought for a candidate we believed would be good for our country. We fought the media and we fought the GOP power brokers.".......................
The strength of the opponents of Romney is demonstrated by their strong challenge to Romney with their small financial backing. Consider the big money behind Romney and the very slight edge that this great amount of money has provided. That is not saying very much for Romney. It exposes him as weak.
You really think that Cain doesn't have big financial backing? His 9-9-9 plan guarantees the wealthy will receive deep tax cuts. Look at his background - he's a banker. His war chest may not be huge, but he has a LOT of money in his corner.
