How does Mitt Romney meet three of four? He was a governor and he sought the nomination in the previous election cycle but he is neither a conservative nor is he from the West. Correct me if I'm wrong but Myth grew up in Michigan, was educated in Ivy League schools, and served as governor in Massachusetts. He has no permanent connection with the West.
I think that Romney is conservative, compared to Giuliani and McCain. Romney is conservative, compared to my republican U.S. senator, Mark Kirk, of Illinois.
