Romney has been doing fairly well since the beginning. He raised four times more funds in the second quarter of 2011 than his opponents. He has been opposed since September by Rick Perry. He has been doing fairly well through the entire race, Republican voters are waiting to see if anything dramatic happens
One reason why Romney could win is he hasn’t yet been marred by outrageous scandals like Cain, or made embarrassing errors in remembering his own policy plans like Perry. He has fairly moderate views so he would not scare off the middle voters by being an extremist.
This is America, where people claim it is an equal state and no one will be judged by their religion, race or background. However, one reason why Romney could lose is that he is Mormon. He is white, even though American Democrats just proved they would break that stereotype by voting in Obama, and he is male, which America has still not proven they will vote against, by not voting for Hilary Clinton. However, he is not a Protestant, or even a Catholic, he is Mormon. Mormonism is considered part of Christianity by some groups, however, the Christian church does not recognize it as a denomination. Could America ever have a non-cookie cutter Christian for president? Even more importantly, would Republican voters ever vote one into the race for presidency? These questions may very well determine Romney’s success.
