In regards to his platform*, Romney has the best one. I'll give him that. And that's if he even means half of it, or hell, he means all of it, but it gets corrupted by both reality and the "inside the beltway bubble", as these things always do, he's still probably the best candidate now.
The only two things I take issue with in her article is she engages in some serious handwavium by calling "Romneycare the sate level conservative alternative" that would have prevented Obamacare. That's utter bull*expletive deleted*, other than I guess it might be easier to kill off in red states once they saw it wasn't working.
I am mindful that St. Reagan used to be a democrat, and he did some seriously un-conservative things during his tenure as Governor of California, at least in terms of RKBA if nothing else, in response to panic over the Black Panthers etc. But therein lies my second complaint. Even if Romney's conservative bona-fides are TRUE, he completely lacks Reagan's ability to sell them.
Maybe he is "so outside the establishment" that the pat conservative buzz-words don't roll off his tongue, even if he really truly does mean them from a policy standpoint. If that's the case, he's even more deeply flawed in the cosmetic sense to make a gut-level emotional connection with the electorate than Perry's inarticulate performances at the debates.
I'm certainly liking Romney more than Santorum right now, or perhaps, more correctly, despising him less... Santorum, who seems bound and determined to scare away the "squishy middle" where national elections are won/lost by convincing them all that he'd love to ban all contraception and make everyone pump out 20 kids like the Duggars+, even if they're already in the productive class and married in a traditional nuclear family. And all the while, he's the one candidate with the record and positions on record to get the LGBT-WTF-BBQ crowd and sympathetic leftists so enraged it helps overcomes the "enthusiasm" gap that Obama currently suffers.
I do think Coulter's support for Romney is somewhat hollow, and borne more of a desire for the Republican party to focus and move forward on defeating Obama than anything else.
If Romney should get the nomination, and if he should win POTUS, and if he should more or less stick to his platform and a Republican house and senate stand ready to pass it, then the Republicans and America will be damned lucky. More lucky than we've any right to be. And of course, that's the proverbial "lot of IF's"...
(*Not counting Ron Paul, who's platform is deep-sixed by his inability to filter his 9/11 and AWOT messages into an acceptable form)
(+Yes, I know Santorum claims these are just his personal views and wouldn't pursue them as policy, but herp derp... that's not what everyone is HEARING when he says that.)
