Mitt Romney has steadily held either 1st or second most votes in the polls thus far and hasn't even spent a cent of his own money yet. He hasn't made many decisions that have been risky or that even stood out among republican candidates. He has a hefty pocketbook that has remained untouched and has the businessman background to hopefully aid him in bolstering the economy. Some of the few potential downsides to Romney include his Mormon faith, which held him back the last time he ran for nomination, and supporting a health care system similar to Obama's (however he has begun to lean more and more right as the nomination comes closer and closer.) At the same time, his wealth in addition to the fact the he does have some sympathy towards liberal ideologies could allow him to gain some more support from the independents. He seems to also be the only candidate that really hasn't been involved in various affairs/ scandals. Overall he doesn't really have a lot of standout features and more of just a safe pick.
