I really think it boils down to his lack of negative rhetoric against Obama. yup...that probably explains everything
You watch... Romney will move to the center on a lot of these same issues after he wins the nomination. IMHO, he'll have to. if he stays on the far right push he's trying for he will lose a big chunk of the independent vote...

...wouldn't this make you happy and want to vote for "basically Huntsman v.2??" (the last runner)?

Why?
For pointing out the hypocracy in the Super PAC system?
Both sides should appluad this in an Era where coorperations AND unions have undue influence on elections and advertising...

I enjoy the theater of it. Trying to understand why a particular candidate rises and falls.
I can see why Newt and Romney (and Paul). I can understand the fall of Cain, Bachman, Perry... the Huntsman thing is enigmatic to me...
if the roles were reversed, you would be breaking down the left candidates...

He's far from 'my guy'. We disagree almost across the board ideologically.
I do 99% respect the way he tried to run his campaign. the 1% was his backtrack on climate change. Otherwise I don't think he pandered, and didn't go overtly negative to either the president or his rivals.

wow..so if he's a moderate capturing a lot of liberal democrats that are happy with Obama(moderates) .....and you "disagree almost across the board ideologically" with him...
that make you a real left wing nut job...doesn't it???
I mean, based on the spectrum that you seem to lay out in your arguments...
