Summary
While other GOP presidential contenders endure dramatic swings in support as the "flavor of the month," Mitt Romney remains the one steady performer. But Romney still doesn't have much separation from the pack, and he doesn't generate great excitement. What must he do to emerge as the consensus candidate (or can he)?
Webb: The Republican establishment is coalescing around Romney, believing he has the best chance to defeat President Barack Obama. That helps with fundraising and endorsements. But Romney's lead is still precarious because the more ideological, grassroots, tea party Republicans remain skeptical of him. But Romney should be Romney. It would be a mistake to pander to the far right and risk more charges of flip-flopping. Romney should stay on course, remain somewhat above the fray, avoid criticizing other Republicans and project a presidential image. In the end, Republicans will nominate the candidate they think can defeat Obama.See the full content of this document
