I believe that Mitt Romney will win the Republican Party's nomination for President of the United States. He has consistently been favored in many major polls. Romney, though not as conservative as other candidates such as Newt Gingrich, and the former candidates Herman Cain, Rick Perry, and Michele Bachmann, has been the strongest most consistently in the polls. He has shown that he is a likeable man, which is a determining factor for a nominee and President with many in the general public. Other candidates, such as the aforementioned Perry, Cain and Gingrich, have temporarily surged against Romney in the polls, but the effect was moot when they eventually lost favor with many in the public. Though, not the most ideal candidate for conservatives, Romney has shown to be the most favorable candidates for independents, who will ultimately decide the 2012 Presidential election. He also polls well against President Obama, even surging ahead in certain polls. Of the candidates who are left, Romney seems like the winner. Gingrich has high unfavorability numbers among the public, and will not likely gain significant independent support if nominated. Rick Santorum seems not to have enough name recognition, and was defeated in 2006 for reelection in the Senate by Bob Casey, Jr. Ron Paul, whose libertarian views differ vastly from the platform of the Republican Party, really is not a factor in the recent primaries. Paul, whose foreign policy views are disliked by many people in the GOP and in the nation, cannot appeal to many outside his base. His stances, such as legalization of drugs such as marijuana, a nonintervention foreign policy, and audits of the Federal Reserve and even Fort Knox, will insure he is not elected. In general, Mr. Romney seems to be the strongest candidate in this election and will likely win the nomination, though he may not be much more effective of a President than Obama if elected.
