Mitt may not currently show up at the top of the national polls for the republican nomination, but for those who know his strategy, this is not a major concern. Since Mitt doesn't have the celebrity flare of a Giuliani (911 mayor) or a McCain (ran against Bush in the past), he needs to use a unique strategy that will not only get him free publicity and spark public interest, but will give him the momentum needed to compete against the big names. It is obvious that Romney is a great strategist and has put himself in a good position to do just this. He sits in the proverbial Australia on the Risk board, waiting with his massive armies to sweep the world. He has a solid base and with a good performance in the first three states (Iowa, New Hampshire, and South Carolina) he could build enough momentum to win the nomination.
Patrick Ruffini, a notable political strategist, goes into more detail in one of his most recent articles entitled "Romney's Race to Lose", about why Mitt could very well win the nomination. Very interesting, so take a look:

What about the fact that he was a terrible, incompetent governor who bent over backwards to cut taxes for corporations, but tried to raise taxes on the lower and middle classes?
