The beauty of Romney is they have nothing to vilify except his religion. They can't call a Harvard Law grad stupid. They can't say he is fat, bald, short or ugly. They can't call a MA Governor a right wing kook. Thay can't call him corrupt or a Bushbot. They can't call him mean. This must frighten them terribly.
So that only leaves his religion. The same as their Senate Majority Leader's, who is (?)4th in line for the Presidency. Should Reid resign?
They can't call a Harvard Law grad stupid.
"the only "true conservative" in the GOP race"
Is Mitt really a conservative? I would not vote for him. The Newt-ster yes, this guy, no.
But hey, that's what makes America great!
I doubt the left is hitting him on this. I believe they are hoping for his nomination because they know, as I suspect, he can't win the general.
Whether right or wrong, enough of the evangelical base will reject him to prevent him winning.
imho.
