Forbes reports the results of a Zogby poll which finds Mitt Romney leads the pack of 2016 GOP presidential hopefuls. None scores heavily but Romney gets 20% where Mr. Second Place - Chris Christie - has 12%.
Christie is followed by Rand Paul 11%, Ted Cruz 9%, Mike Huckabee 8%, Jeb Bush 6%, and then Scott Walker, Marco Rubio, Bobby Jindal, Suzanna Martinez, Nikki Haley, John Kasich and Rob Portman in descending order, all with 4% or less.
Given the modest showings of all the other possible candidates, 20% looks pretty good. Also in Romney's favor is the extent to which positions he took in 2012 have been vindicated by time and experience.
It turns out Romney was right and Obama wrong about many key issues, particularly in foreign policy. I suspect there's lots of buyer's remorse among former Obama voters.
