Well the PPP poll had Saintorum on top at least once. I think the Dems would like to see that be the outcome of the GOP process but, alas, probably not to be.
Have you read Romney's biography? He strikes me as the kind of guy who grew up in a conservative environment, but didn't give the issues a lot of thought, until he had to- when he decided to run for Kennedy's seat in '94. There, he had to appeal to moderates and liberals to have a chance, so he adopted moderate and liberal positions, on abortion, gays, guns, etc.
To Romney's way of thinking, getting elected is just a PROBLEM to be solved. If the solution to the problem involves changing his positions on the issues, so be it. Furthermore, Romney does not get why anyone sees a problem with this.
What does Romney REALLY think? What are his "core values"? In Romney's world, the question is meaningless.
And that's why he's struggling- nobody really trusts him. How can they? If someone asks you,"What do you believe?"' the answer CAN'T be "It depends".
I have read all of Romney's books. I also talk to people who know him best. He is a conservative, no doubt about it. He is probably more conservative than some of the four still running. You would have to know and understand his lifestyle and the way he lives to really see that I guess, but I don't see how it's not pretty obvious.

I am sure you are probably right. I can see rather running against Santorum than Romney in most ways.
