A Mitt Romney Anomaly

For all the caucuses and primaries to be held over the next month, Mitt Romney is an odds on favourite. He is very short as well in the market to be the eventual Republican candidate. Yet the opinion pollsters in their surveys of Republican voters have him as the second choice behind Newt Gingrich.

(The polls figures are taken from the Real Clear Politics average of recent polls.)

The lack of enthusiasm for Romney makes me hesitate about taking the short prices on offer in these upcoming events although I have backed him to win today's (Tuesday's) Florida primary.
