I made the mistake years ago of predicting that John McCain would never win the Republican nomination. I really believed the base would never let a guy like that represent the party. But McCain successfully backed into the nomination while other more conservative options knocked each other or themselves out.
I suspect Romney is following the same path. We'll see if it works for him.
He's not my favorite candidate, but I'm not thrilled with the alternatives, so it's a kind of a lesser-of-all-evils question.
