Romney has been an opportunistic conservative. I don’t believe that he is a philosophically grounded conservative. His positions on gay marriage and abortion are examples.
This chart at post #44 is also quite eye-opening regarding his long-standing conservative positions:http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1857354/posts?page=44#44

I doubt a good man like Sen. Jim Demint would have endorsed Mitt Romney if he was not convinced of his conservative credentials.
