If it were up to me, Ron Paul would be the GOP nomination. But it's not up to me and based on the debates, campaigns and the outcome of the Iowa caucus, Mitt Romney seems to be the reasonable nominee. One of the reasons why Romney is a potential nominee is because he hasn't done anything wrong. Unlike his competitors, he has clean image that hasn't been tainted by the media or by the other candidates. For example, Romney is in a monogamous marriage, he has strong core values and he has made it clear that his faith of Mormonism will not interfere with his decision making. With all these factors, it's easy to see that Romney could be the face of American and represent it well.
Another reason why Romney could be a potential nominee is because of his ideas and beliefs. Even though Herman Cain is no longer in the race, his values were that of an extremist. Most Americans don't classify themselves as extremists and they would feel more comfortable with Romney's views than they would with Cain's. Romney is the typical Republican in which he does not believe in gay marriage or abortion. Americans may not agree with all of his views but they know what to expect with him and they don't want to be left guessing whether or not he is going to do something else as president.
Romney has not only shown himself to be a responsible candidate but also he is reliable. Unlike Perry, Romney has done a good job of showing up to the debates and preforming in a mature manner. When he goes to the debates, it shows that he is dedicated and wants to promote his campaign and ideas. People want someone who can be trusted and if Romney continues to attend the debates, than he has a better chance of winning.
Overall, Romney has proved himself to be a strong candidate and it would not surprise me if he wins the nomination. He would pose quite the challenge for Obama making for a more entertaining race in November.
