Seeing him on the trail reminds me of something Ramesh said in his McCain cover piece, that all three of the top GOP candidate are, in their own ways, strong.

I think that’s right. Romney is the guy everyone has been writing off and who has had a very tough year (until lately). But he is a very impressive guy—articulate, smooth, likable. If this is the worst of the top candidates, they are a strong bunch indeed.
