Krauthammer: ‘Weak Front-Runner’ Romney Gets Weaker Not Stronger Every Week

During last night’s Fox News election coverage of Super Tuesday, Megyn Kelly spoke with Washington Post columnist Charles Krauthammer and asked for his take on the night’s proceedings. “It doesn’t change the big picture, which is that Romney, slow and steady and collecting the delegates and the wins he’s winning, is a relatively weak front-runner,” Krauthammer observed. “I mean, look where he won, tonight: Massachusetts and Vermont, home court. That’s like Gingrich winning Georgia. That’s like [Stephen] Hayes winning Wisconsin.”

Krauthammer gave a pained analysis of Romney’s election night returns.

“He is the front-runner, he picks up all of the delegates,” Krauthammer argued. “But he is not a strong front-runner you’d like to see. If you’re a Republican and you’re seeing how the field is slipping vis-à-vis Obama in the national polls.”

“So, I think in the end, it’s the slow and steady of the tortoise, you know, gathering up delegates,” he concluded. “Romney, who’s on his way, but it’s going to be a painful, long trip. And he gets weaker, not stronger, I think, with every week.”
