Is Romney unstoppable?

[TheGreatOne]

Anyone could stop Romney.  If I was in the GOP primary, I would prefer Romney over Palin and Huckabee.  He is just so weak with the base.

The only person who I think could beat him in the primary is Huckabee and the cop-killing scandal probably ended that.

So who, if anyone, can realistically stop Romney? And how?

I don't think Huckabee is out by any means.  There are plenty of Republicans who don't care about him shortening the length of criminals, especially criminals who were given unusually long sentences.

I think Pawlenty will win the nomination. I think he'll really pick up steam once he starts his campaign. He seems more like the Conservative version of the McCain, aka the compromise.

But McCain was well-known already and had frontrunner status for a while.

McCain didn't have front-runner status until he won Florida.

I would say he was the front-runner after South Carolina, which was suppose to be a sure win for Huckabee.  Once he won Florida the primary was basically over.

Yep.  McCain was known for being solid on National Security and voted mostly with the Republicans on Economic issues.  He crossed party lines for issues he felt would help the country.  You could tell he really cared about helping people.  I think Huckabee has that same quality even though I donm't agree with his politics.
