GOP Nominee prediction

The GOP Nomination won't be a big surprise in my opinion. At the moment Mitt Romney is without a doubt the person I'd put my money on. Sure Iowa was a close race, but Romney has been working for months and has so many resources and general appeal to republicans that the other candidates don't have much of a chance. I'd say at this point it is probably between him and Ron Paul. However, given that Americans generally tend to base their votes upon the polls, and currently most polls state that Romney has the best chance out of all the candidates to defeat Obama. I'd say Romney will win the GOP nomination. Currently Perry is going to drop after South Carolina and Newt is simply into too much a hole to really dig himself out. Perry is the most straightforward candidate in the GOP Nomination.
