Romney has all of the necessary tools to be president, an attractive character, a strong political and business history, name recognition and the intellect to give Obama trouble in upcoming debates. The one aspect that Romney lacks, and needs to nurture in his campaign is being strong on issues and not being afraid to take a stand early. Romney needs to show the American public, and more importantly the conservative voters, that he isn't afraid to take a direct stand on issues. Conservatives are waiting for Romney to take the reigns of the Republican Party, and with others like Cain lingering close behind - the conservative stronghold won't be shy to look to someone else if Romney doesn't satisfy their political agenda soon.
The GOP realizes their opportunity in this presidential race, to not only pull a win against Obama, but be able to elect a far-right backlash against the liberal policies of the current administration and Senate. Romney has always been able to play the moderate position to perfection and be able to conjure support from across the board, but what is truly going to be important in 2012 is not disenchanting the right wing support. It isn't too late for Romney, and if he presents more conservative policies and consistently responds to upcoming events with a strong conservative tone he should be able to gain the support of most Republicans. However, not even mentioning a tweet on the Ohio labor union drama - especially regarding a huge swing state, is how Herman Cain and others can manage to still take the lead in this race.
