Mitt Romney, Mike Huckabee, and (maybe) Jeb Bush.

Can someone explain why Republicans turned to then-Texas Governor George W. Bush instead of Florida Gov. Jeb Bush in 2000?

George W. Bush- in office since 1995
Jeb Bush- in office since 1999

That can pretty much explain it.

Ah, yes, I quite forgot. That's why I asked. Tongue

Why is Mitt Romney considered a leading contender?
(...) I can't understand what Romney's base of support is.

Romney can be considered the candidate of the corporate, Big Business, Chamber of Commerce-Club for Growth, RLC-wing of the Republican Party. He is the heir to Steve Forbes. He is the antithesis to the perceived populist Mike Huckabee.
