Romney's emergence
Here's a John Fund article on Mitt Romney's rise as a contender for the 2008 GOP nomination.
Two responses. First, though most of the article is on target, my read is that Gov. Romney still has some work to do where living down his liberal past is concerned. Secondly, not being well-known at this stage of the game isn't exactly a fatal weakness. More often than not in recent years, candidates who have been virtually unknown when they hit the campaign trail here in Iowa end up winning the caucuses- and thereupon cease to be unknown.
In other words, it's naive to write off Huckabee.
