Posted at 12:08am on Jan. 4, 2008 What now for Romney?

By Nom de Plume

Mitt Romney based his 2008 strategy on winning early and often. With a defeat in Iowa and a shaky outlook in New Hampshire, where does he go from here?

Perhaps of more concern to the Romney camp is that despite their hard work and extensive expenditure, Romney hasn't been able to grow beyond his base.

So, if Romney doesn't win in New Hampshire, where can he win? Can you win a presidential nomination by coming in second place everywhere, even in a highly fragmented race? Should he consider striking a deal to accept the VP spot on the ticket with one of the older candidates and set the table for 2012 or 2016 (Romney is only 60, a relative spring chicken among the Republican candidates)? If so, with whom? You have to think that Romney would be the most attractive VP candidate for any of the other major Republicans because he can self-finance.
