Whit Ayres’ comments on the state of the Republican primary contest on NPR’s Morning Edition:
Romney is still a fragile front-runner, but a win is a win, says Republican consultant Whit Ayres.
“Whenever Mitt Romney’s back is to the wall and he absolutely has to win, he has come through so far — first in Florida, now in Michigan. So [the primary]’s results will tamp down the call for a new candidate at least for a week,” Ayres says.
Ayres points out that there hasn’t been any momentum in this Republican race. Candidates win one round and then go on to lose the next. Plus, the delegate process has turned the GOP primary into a longer-than-expected campaign.
