I think part of what’s driving the anti-Romney sentiment (other than the obvious preference stated pretty clearly, by the owner of this fine site) is that many seem to have drawn a conclusion that Romney, is like McCain.
On that, this poster would differ. I heard Rush Limbaugh mention this also, recently.
The very important difference between John McCain and Mitt Romney, is that Romney really, genuinely wants and is in fact deeply committed to, WINNING THE ELECTION.
He’s not running to beat his primary challengers, as McCain was. He’s not just trying to win over media leftists, by beating other Republicans.
No. Romney is in this to be president. He’s been utterly devastating in effectiveness, as far back as 2008 when his minions pounced on and demonized Sarah Palin, and his entire world since then has been about winning the presidency this year.
Every move he’s set out to do, he has accomplished.
I’m no Mitten. I find the guy revolting, and carry a grudge over his flunkies’ treatment of the finest Republican candidate this century (Governor Palin).
But there’s really little question anymore, Romney is pretty talented at winning elections.
He’s going to be a formidable opponent against Obama, if he ends up our nominee.
And he’s no communist.
And he’s never eaten dog.
As silly as the dog eat dog episode was this last week, it showed that he and his team isn't afraid to go after Obama on all levels. Apparently, Mittens is a fighter and is willing to not just fight his own family (Republicans), but to fight the leader of the neighborhood gang.
Mittens willing to take of the Mitts against Obama?
“But there’s really little question anymore, Romney is pretty talented at winning elections.

I agree with your post. I’d also add that Romney wants to be president as a goal. That is, he has no agenda like Obama. So, if there is a strong Congress, I think Romney can be pushed into being somewhat conservative.
And he doesn’t hate America.
