Romney has no principles one way or the other. On social policy he is not going to move us much in any direction, unlike someone like Perry or Bachmann.

So what gives why don't the dems attack him aren't they supoda hate all republicans?
There are two main reasons off the top of my head:
a) All the alternatives to Romney are certifiably insane (aside from the other Mormon, but Huntsman has zero chance). A large chance of having President Romney is far preferable to even the off chance of risking President Perry.
b) Romney isn't actually a conservative. He has no ideology. On the one hand this makes him a rather contemptible and sleazy character, and I don't see how anyone could vote for him without feeling the need to shower afterwards. On the other hand, it also means he is more likely to simply take the pragmatic middle route while seeing to governance, which is much better than what we can expect out of someone like Gingrich or Paul.
