46. Not really. Rand Paul could announce next week and he would be the front-runner.

Dec 2014

And then Romney could enter the race the week after that and he would be the front-runner.

Democrats are sheep, but it's much harder to get them to look at the new toy in the window. Republicans, not so much.

The following 2012 GOP primary chart from the link below says it all.

http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2012/president/us/republican_presidential_nomination-1452.html

First it was Romney,
then Bachmann got a bump,
then Perry took the lead,
then Cain,
then Gingrich,
then Romney again,
then Gingrich,
then Santorum,
and then finally Romney.

Each took the lead after getting positive press at one particular point in that race.
