With the Republican presidential lineup largely settled and little prospect of new candidates entering the race, some of the Republican Party’s leading donors and activists have begun to come off the sidelines.
Many of them are picking Mitt Romney, the former Massachusetts governor, who has avidly courted Wall Street.

Chris Christie of New Jersey.
