I think the Romney hatred is based on being 20% anti-Romney and 80% anti-Mormon.
You need to add a little shilling for zero into your percentages.

Maybe, but I suspect about half of it is just people refusing to quit until the last gasp, i.e., when Romney is actually nominated at the convention. Until then, they think, there’s a chance...
And I don’t have any trouble with that. I really, really didn’t want Romney to be the GOP candidate, but hey, he’s won it. I quit worrying about how to beat him about the time he won the Wisconsin primary. At that point, l went from trying to beat him to supporting him.
Others just haven’t given up yet. If they don’t give up even after he’s nominated at the convention, then, yes, they’re effectively Obama supporters whether they see that or not.
I’m just thankful that the Tea Party has been disciplined enough to remain within the GOP and attempt to change it from within, rather than attack it from the outside, a la Ross Perot, because that would have guaranteed four more years of Obama.
