Mitt Romney is surging!

“Mitt Romney is 10 points ahead of John McCain in New Hampshire according to the latest Zogby poll. Last week Romney hit 32 percent — 10 ahead of Giuliani and nine ahead of McCain — in a WBZ poll, which the Zogby results are confirming. What might account for this remarkable jump since last month?

For one, Romney’s put in the time. He’s logged 10 more New Hampshire visits than McCain and 13 more than Rudy Giuliani. In New Hampshire, that matters, which McCain knows and Rudy evidently does not. Giuliani’s local team knows it, but it appears that his national team does not.

Romney also is talking the talk. He sounds more conservative than his other top competitors at the moment, and he’s got a strong presence in person that neither McCain nor Giuliani has right now. Both seem unsure of themselves, like they’re still trying to find their footing, while Romney seems confident and comfortable with himself and his message.”
