You are correct that many/most conservatives distrust Mitt because of his many years of pro-abort advocacy. He openly scorned conservatism and Ronald Reagan until just recently. I know that his positions have changed in recent months. But many fear that this is just too opportunistic and transitory.
Why do you think he is the “best chance for a win?” His personal wealth is the only strong positive I see.

He's an articulate and telegenic problem solver who has taken on big things like the Salt Lake City Olympics, he managed to get elected as a Republican in a deep blue state, he has been fantastically successful in business, and he'd be running against Hillary Clinton. Ok, the last part would be true for whoever we nominate.

Long before Romney put his hat in the presidential race, I saw him speak on C-Span a few times. He made a lot of sense, even my Naval son liked what the man had to say.
My favorite GOP is Duncan Hunter (Romney is my 2nd choice)
But, I just don’t see Hunter getting the momentum.
