Romney gains momentum
"Just a few weeks ago, advisers to Mitt Romney spoke about a steady, gradual climb from obscurity to the 2008 Republican presidential nomination. Now, Romney has rocketed from behind and is leading the race or is neck and neck for the lead in the pivotal states of Iowa and New Hampshire," McClatchy Newspapers reports.
"[H]is rapid rise may say as much about the fickleness of Republicans this early in the campaign as it does about the former Massachusetts governor.
"But for now at least, Romney enters the summer astride the top tier and within reach of being able to claim that he's the front-runner for the nomination."
