RE: Gilmore v. Romney

By W. James Antle, III on 2.27.07 @ 8:44PM

A lot of the difference has to do with money and organization. Mitt Romney has excelled at fundraising and put together at least the third best campaign organization on the Republican side. Secondly, Romney did a far better job than either Gilmore or Mike Huckabee at introducing himself to conservative opinion leaders throughout 2005. In the modern nominating process, these things matter.
