The thing that struck me about Romney is how he wasn't able to unite conservatives against John McCain, which seems like a relatively easy task.

I don't see how he's going to be able to defeat Obama, assuming he wins the nomination.

Romney is no more conservative than McCain—probably less so.

But he is just as committed to his own career over principle—probably more so.

Maybe being a liberal, from liberal parents, from the liberal state with his main ‘accomplishment’ being Romneycare had something to do with it.

Good point, an old man kicked Romney's @ss pretty badly.

Plus the mantle of ROMNEYCARE and the destruction of MA's economy and healthcare system is going to be difficult to explain away.

Depriving a man of his freedom in compelling him to enroll in insurance, needed or not is tyranny.

Not something people are likely run and embrace if they are remotely acquainted with the concept of freedom.
