It’s just amazing so many people hate Romney, and conservatives no less. Most of the Republican primary candidates hated him but that’s understandable. Jealousy was definitely a factor. But NR ?

Merits or no, the Romney’s negative ratings are so high that people will stay home.

Me, I don’t like Romney because he appears to be insincere and had a convenient transformation to being a conservative. Other people reasonably disagree.

Regardless of the merits, a significant percentage of people don’t like Romney.

Hence, politically, Romney is a poor choice.

He was a gutless governor who rolled over for an out of control state supreme court that mandated gay marriage.

If he had had the guts for a constitutional crisis and confrontation, we would not have gay marriage in MA (and probably not CA either).

He could have been courageious, instead he’s a manicured neuticle.

(And nobody can overlook the fact that gay marriage could easily lead to legalizing polygamy, something many surmise the Mormon Church would quickly be on board with).

It's not hate. It's a realistic assessment of Rommney's many weaknesses as a candidate.

No worries. Frum’s disdain for Romney is more than made up for by Hugh Hewitt’s 24/7 kneepadding for the guy.

He is liberal record and is notorious flip-flopper and liar.

Why on earth should would any conservative want a man with his record and history of political expediency to be next in line to President, all while undermining the chances of REAL conservatives like Bobby Jindal?

Jealousy was definitely a factor.

The major factor was that he's not a conservative, he just plays one on TV. Had Romney been the least bit credible as a conservative, he would have been the nominee.
