In the aftermath of Rick Santorum’s clean sweep of Colorado, Minnesota and Missouri, Mitt Romney is still, in fact, the front-runner for the Republican presidential nomination. But the lack of enthusiasm for his candidacy among conservatives foreshadows a potentially ugly road ahead to the party’s convention in Tampa and general-election problems if he becomes the nominee.
Romney advisers can offer all kinds of reasons for his anemic showing Tuesday. Some of them were cited in a memo issued as the polls were opening. The candidate was coming off two consecutive victories that should have given him momentum. But the defensively worded memo was designed to dampen expectations.
