There's been so much hype around his success that $30 million seems to be a CW benchmark (I recall seeing someone speculate that he could reach $35 mil., but I don't remember where). Of course this can only lead to a let down and subsequent "Romney performing below expectations. Moreover, as Todd notes, even if Romney taps into low hanging fruit successfully, he's not likely to be able to replicate that again. Think John Edwards and trial lawyers in 1st Q 2003.
