The video linked above, besides being quite funny, shows how some people view Mitt Romney as a possible nominee for president. One reason why Romney would have trouble beating Obama if he was the GOP candidate is the fact that he has flip-floped on seemingly many issues. Because of this, many feel like they cant trust anything Romney says in a debate or interview, or at least not for long. The video above gives the impression that Romney doesn't know what he is talking about, or doesn't care enough to know what he needs to. Romney is viewed by many as inconsistant because of the few instances of flip-flopping, even if they were not that big of a deal when they occured.
One good reason why Romney could win, at least the nomination, is that he is the only GOP candidate that has been consistance in his support base. Those who supported Romney four years ago still support him now and most likely will until the end. He has held strong at around 25% in the polls for months, while others have risen and fallen again, varying from 2% to 30%. Until last month, Romney was always on top. Now that Gingrich is on top, Romney needs to determine if Gingrich is another short-term riser or if he needs to do something to bring him down.
