Just to follow-up on the "Romney-inclined types" thing--not that a large group alone necessarily signifies the people in it are right about anything, never mind politics, but I've been following Romney the last couple days in the outer reaches of ice-covered Iowa and he is drawing very large crowds in very small towns, not all of whom are coming out because they have some irrational love for "inconsistency" or who are "hyper political" by any stretch of the imagination. We're talking salt-of-the-earth when you get up into northeastern Iowa. Just because the media-at-large says Huckabee has a lock on "ordinary people" doesn't mean it's true, and Romney's fanbase is not made up solely of Type-A middle-managers at hedge funds.
