He's not the front-runner, a title that could arguable be given to McCain or Giuliani. Yes he was the chair of the Republican Governor's Association and he has been campaigning his ass off, but does that succeed in making him a top tier candidate worthy of this sort of scrutiny? Something about Romney rings similar to Hillary Clinton's perception as being the front runner (though for admittedly very different reasons). He seems to be a contender because people say he's a contender and not because of any particular action or grassroots support that has caused him to merit the label.
