Republican Unity and the Romney Momentum: Analysis of a Pivotal Moment in the GOP Primary

In a notable shift in the Republican primary season, Tea Party conservative and South Carolina Senator Jim Demin has publicly endorsed Mitt Romney, signaling a potential unification of the GOP around Romney's candidacy. This endorsement comes at a crucial time, as Romney has struggled to resonate with the conservative base, Tea Party supporters, and blue-collar voters. Despite this, Romney has garnered significant support from influential figures like Donald Trump, which has been pivotal in early states. The panel, including Joe Trippi, John Christopher Buah, and Roger Stone, discusses the importance of this moment for Romney, emphasizing the need to excite and unite disparate groups within the Republican party. They also consider the potential impact of other candidates like Gary Johnson and Ron Paul, highlighting the importance of securing the conservative base in a close presidential race. The discussion underscores Romney's need to consolidate support within the GOP to effectively challenge Barack Obama in the upcoming election.
