Is Romney the front-runner?

That's the question posed on Townhall.com today, with the theory being that Romney may be doing better than national polls suggest because he has systematically developed a strong grassroots effort.

"Mitt Romney is now positioned as the front-runner for the nomination," said
Scott Reed, who managed Bob Dole's 1996 presidential campaign. "There's a long
way to go, but to date he's running the most logical, thought-out, structured
campaign. He's marching in the right cadence, he's raising the money, he's
spending it wiser and he seems to be on track."

I believe this is true, that no one is better organized than Romney. His early fundraising lead certainly has helped - the article talks of him jumping in early in Iowa by getting "a DVD out in the mail, glossy fliers" - but I saw Romney people organized at the end of last year, months before I met anyone from any other campaign. Next stop....vision?
