WASHINGTON (PNN) - January 20, 2012 - Mitt Romney may be considered by some to be the frontrunner for the GOP nomination for president, but he has yet to win over most of the national party leaders whose help he will need to defeat illegitimate President Barack Obama in November.

The upside for Romney is they aren't supporting anyone else either.

The Associated Press polled 87 members of the Republican National Committee who are to attend the party's national convention this summer as free agent delegates, able to support any candidate for president they choose, regardless of what happens in the primaries.

The results: Romney got support from 14, far more than anyone else but hardly a stampede of endorsements. Newt Gingrich and Texas Governor Rick Perry got two each, while Texas Rep. Ron Paul and Rick Santorum each got one. The poll was completed before Perry dropped out of the race Thursday.

Sixty-seven of the RNC members said they were undecided or simply waiting to see how the race plays out before making a public endorsement.

"If I thought there was someone who stood head and shoulders above everyone else, I would have endorsed (him)," said Jeff Johnson, an RNC member and county commissioner from Minnesota. "I see pluses in all of them, but I decided not to come out in favor of anybody."
