Yes. I get the impression that the Party Machine is backing Romney. They probably view him as less controversial and hence more likely to succeed.
On the other hand, the party machine is represented by the likes of the people who backed McCain - who were wrong, and the likes of Boehner - whose need to be non-controversial puts them in a state of irrelevance vis-a-vis any significant change in the processes which put us here in the first place.
When it comes to spending, the major difference between Bush II and Obama is in magnitude, not in real philosophy.
