...Like McCain, Mitt Romney is a prodigious spender of campaign cash. Unlike McCain, Romney can dip into a huge personal fortune to supplement his fund-raising - and has done so. The former Massachusetts Governor is also the only Republican candidate in the top tier whose poll numbers have been inching upward since the beginning of the year. This is especially true in the lead-off states of Iowa and New Hampshire, where he currently tops the field, a fact that causes some strategists to declare Romney the race's "real front-runner." It is not an unreasonable claim...
...Romney's strength in Iowa and New Hampshire masks his weakness in other key states like South Carolina, where social conservatives are likely to view with suspicion his relatively recent shift to the right on abortion and gay rights.

Taking its place alongside firehouse pancake breakfasts and the Ames straw poll is a new campaign staple: the Trivial Story. The details change--Mitt Romney spends $300 for a makeup artist; John Kerry orders a Philly cheesesteak with provolone instead of "Whiz"; Al Gore wears earth tones on the advice of a consultant. The more trivial the story, the more newsprint and airtime it soaks...
