Mitt Romney is a perfect example of everything that is wrong with today's GOP. While serving as Governor of Massachusetts, he was a relatively reasonable moderate Republican. But since he deciding to run for President, he has had to turn his back on every moderate position he ever held and deny every centrist accomplishment he has ever attained just to placate the frothing right wing horde. The Romney who ran Massachusetts would probably be a lock for President in 2012 but the Romney who has evolved since then probably isn't even ideological pure enough to get the nomination.
