NR’s John Miller has a cover profile of Mitt Romney in the new issue. The piece takes an overall positive view of Romney, noting the conservative elements of his philosophy, struggles as a Republican operating in Massachusetts and looks at his presidential pedigree. Miller notes:

“Looking ahead, the question is no longer whether Romney can catch a break from Democrats, but whether he can catch one from conservatives who possess an instinctive wariness of anything emanating from the land of Kennedy, Dukakis, and Kerry. Their skepticism is well warranted—but Romney also deserves a fair hearing from them as they search for a successor to President Bush. They may come to like the guy.”
