I have liked Romney since I first heard him give a speech. No one out there has his speaking ability. I don't like the fact that Kerry beat him in debates for the Senate seat.

But stump speaking ability is a real plus in the primaries.

Mitt Romney, An Early Favorite

By Doug Petch blog

If you're the type to handicap these things, it certainly appears that the early favorite over at National Review is Mitt Romney. The latest example - this cover story by John J. Miller (who gets bonus points for mentioning Fred Thompson in the article) -

Romney is clearly interested in running for president. He won’t say so, but Mike Murphy, a senior adviser to the governor, admits that Romney is “testing the waters.” Looking ahead, the question is no longer whether Romney can catch a break from Democrats, but whether he can catch one from conservatives who possess an instinctive wariness of anything emanating from the land of Kennedy, Dukakis, and Kerry. Their skepticism is well warranted — but Romney also deserves a fair hearing from them as they search for a successor to President Bush. They may come to like the guy.

It's obviously way to early to get too worked up about any potential candidate, but there it is.
