He’s still the man to beat, and the man President Obama fears enough to leak out an early, vaguely anti-Mormon campaign strategy. So far, Romney has not won the hearts of conservatives, but he has done as well as one could expect in rebutting criticism of the Massachusetts health care law — “Obamneycare.” With a better social-fiscal fusion candidate like Rick Perry on the horizon – another governor with a more conservative record — Romney could face some serious trouble. Unlike Michele Bachmann, Perry can probably compete in both Iowa and New Hampshire — Romney may be forced to change his strategy and compete for real in Iowa instead of picking New Hampshire as his hill to die on.
