NBC News:
Polls have consistently shown Romney in the mid-20s, at or near the lead, but with a ceiling. The highest he has gotten in the NBC-Wall Street Journal poll was 30%, in fact, back in July.
Pressed by reporters to describe how he might make up ground in early states like South Carolina and Florida, where new NBC-Marist polling now shows him trailing Gingrich by double digits, Romney sounded a confident note, but also predicted he might be in for a long primary fight that stretched well beyond the early voting states.
"I'm going to get the nomination," Romney said. "I can't tell you exactly which order I'll be able to pick up states in, but I'm convinced that I'll be successful in this effort if I'm able to stay true to the things I believe and the message I deliver and provide it in a very compelling way and I hope to be the nominee."
He continued, "We’re going to start in Iowa, and it’s going to go on, and its going to go on and go on. I’d like to close real early but my experience is, particularly with delegates being awarded on a proportional basis, why who knows how long it could go? We’re prepared to go on a nice, long, successful campaign."
