Huh? Will has been dumping on every non-establishment, non-beltway conservative figure to come down the pike for several years now. And suddenly he’s now starting to express doubts about his beloved establishment’s ‘chosen one?’ Yeah, whatever.

Money quote:

"Republicans may have found their Michael Dukakis, a technocratic Massachusetts governor who takes his bearings from ‘data’ ... Has conservatism come so far, surmounting so many obstacles, to settle, at a moment of economic crisis, for THIS?"

George Will at times has an uncanny ability to see beyond the moment and ignore accepted "wisdom" in favor of actual truth.

In this case, the truth is that Mitt Romney, Darling of the Establishment, far from resuscitating the GOP, would fatally fracture it.

Romney is not a conservative - that makes him a CINO. He acts very much like a country club Republican.

We need to hear more of this kind of reasoning that shows what Romney really is, and why he is not a conservative instead of the anti-Mormon mobs “Mormons aren’t Christian”, “Mormons will steal your wives”, “Mormonism is a cult”, etc that is common on FR

Republican successes down the ticket will depend on the energies of the tea party and other conservatives, who will be deflated by a nominee whose blurry profile in caution communicates only calculated trimming.
