Why would anyone who was offended by McCain's RINOism turn to Romney?

The reverse could be asked: Why would anyone who was offended by Romney's RINOism turn to McCain? As for Romney, the one thing to me that gives him an advantage over McCain is his business-saving experience at Bain and his resurrection of the Salt Lake City Olympics. However, the old blue-blood Republicans won out and anointed McCain because they thought he was due. This same mentality is what gave us Bush Sr. (the anti-Reagan) in 1988 and Bob Dole ("I became a Republican because that's how you get elected in Kansas") in 1996.

A large percentage of the McCain supporters on this thread (including myself) admitted that we were holding our nose and voting for McCain because their were no better viable options.

However, the old blue-blood Republicans won out and anointed McCain because they thought he was due.

You mean the same establishment Republicans who are trying to force-feed Romney on us in 2012?

Bush Sr. (the anti-Reagan)

This confuses me. Why are you supporting Romney if this is a concern to you? The Romney family has a longer history of fighting the movement conservatives (including Reagan) than the Bush family.

Bain - buying companies, laying people off
SLC Olympics - got huge amount of $ from the Government to rescue it
