"Mitt Romney is ahead in the race for the Republican presidential nomination, Al Cardenas, chairman of the American Conservative Union, tells Newsmax.
While pundits and pollsters focus on the national picture, the process for selecting the nominee actually depends on the states that hold the first primaries, Cardenas points out.
Al Cardenas “What you really need to look at are the five early states,” Cardenas says. “So you're talking about Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina, Nevada, and Florida.
'What happens in those five states, with rare exceptions, decides the race. My sense is that whoever wins two or three of those early states is going to be the nominee.”"
