The Republican Consolidation

Jennifer Rubin, Washington Post
Gallup’s national tracking poll shows Mitt Romney moving out to an 18-point lead over Rick Santorum. Romney is now at 43 percent in a four-man field.For months Romney antagonists said he was not “closing” the deal or ”consolidating his base.” Truth be told, in a spirited primary with a lot of candidates, that consolidation often comes after the front-runner has virtually put away the competition. In other words, when voters realize their first choice is going nowhere, they get behind the winner.
