It became apparent that Romney’s liberalism is too recently a part of his past. If Romney can grow in his conservatism over the next 4 years, then I can support him.
But, I want proof that his conversion to conservatism was not just a matter of convenience once he entered the race. Consistency over time will provide that.
BTW, I just happened to work for years in an Army system in which I had mormons as both superiors and subordinates. Those I worked for, those who were my superiors in the CHAPLAIN field were more than honorable...and friends. But you might not have had that kind of experience in your life, so you wouldn't know the bond that develops between those who serve together.
