Ok,,,here is a little lesson I learned years ago that always proves to be true.

Republicans love to pick the guy who was in the lead at the start of the race.

Democrats love to support the come-from-behind Underdog.


So Mitt had this wrapped up (as long as he does not screw up) before he announced he was running.
His victory is because of the groundwork he did when he was in the last race against Mccain and got his **** kicked.

By being in that race he was in the correct position to be considered in the 'lead' for this election.

And that is how Republicans pick their guy to lead the ticket....
Thats how McCain got to lead the ticket,
thats how Ronald Reagan got to lead the ticket,
thats how Nixon...etc.

Republicans love to support the guy they see as the winner at the start, Republicans like to have jumped on the band wagon at the very start.

So because Mitt was seen as the early leader in this election after a loss in the last one he will get the lead spot on the ticket guaranteed
.

This is just how Republicans act.
Has nothing to do with his faith, or even his political views, or anything about how he thinks about stuff.

It only has to do with "position" at the start.
