There is no “real” Mitt Romney. There is a fake Liberal Mitt and a fake Conservative Mitt.

Alex Beam: “In truth, Ronald Reagan
and Mitt Romney have as much in common
as Cardinal O’Malley and Conan O’Brien.
Deservedly or not, Reagan earned a reputation for constancy.
Once he turned against communism, he opposed it big-time.
…. And our former governor? Inconstancy, thy name is Mitt!
A woman’s right to choose? Yes! No! Yes!
Are we in Massachusetts? Yes! Are we in Iowa? No!
Are we on TV? Whatever!”

"Whereas most superheroes' secret identities (Bruce Wayne, Peter Parker) are their true identities
--the people they were before their parents were murdered or they were bitten by radioactive spiders
or exposed to gamma rays or what have you--Superman was born Superman.
It's Clark Kent that is the invented alias, the pose, the "costume."
And in the way Superman plays Kent--weak, self-doubting, cowardly--
we can see what he thinks of the human race overall.
It occurred to me that the same is true of Mitt Romney's desperate,
if never terribly persuasive, impersonation of a conservative Republican."
[from "Mitt Romney as Tarantino's Superman", New Republic]

I can’t think of another Republican that seemed to have no reason to run for President, or even be heavily involved in politics, like Mitt Romney.

Nobody knows why he runs, or what he wants out of being in government (but only as the big cheese), personally I think that it is both, his childhood obsession to win gold stars, and to avenge his father’s take down by conservatives, and fly over, traditional Americans. I find both of those threatening, but the second one is deadly to our nation.

Mitt Romney is the GOP Al Gore.

There’s no need to wonder about Mittens; he’s as liberal as they come. He moved to the right in 2008 because Giuliani was running for the presidency. Now that Rudy’s no longer around he feels free to run again as the liberal, blue-state, barely discernable from a democrat GOP candidate.
