Here is how National Review summarized their take on Romney in November of 2012:

Mitt Romney’s record, to put it gently, has not always been that of a National Review conservative. The more we have learned about the health-care plan he got enacted in Massachusetts, the less wise we consider it. During his campaign he has too often been unimaginative or vague on health care, federal spending, and taxes. Yet he has also stood, riskily, for a necessary reform of entitlements. He has vowed to be a reliable ally of pro-lifers and judicial conservatives. Without indicating any desire to go to war with Iran, he has treated its nuclear ambitions, and the increased power their realization would gain it, with an appropriate alarm (and we trust Tehran would read his election as a negative development). He has made it clear that in cutting spending he would be mindful that the national defense is the federal government’s foremost responsibility. In choosing Paul Ryan as his prospective vice president he has shown far better judgment than Obama, whose own pick weekly demonstrates that the categories of buffoon and demagogue are not mutually exclusive.

In this election we are proud to stand with Mitt Romney over the vain collectivist in the White House, and we hope the voters will make the same decision.

From: Mitt Romney for President.

You may disagree with this analysis and conclusion, but you cannot credibly call it liberal or the product of a liberal. In essence, it is my view of Romney today as well, that he would be preferable to Hillary or whomever the Democrats would nominate. If you prefer another candidate for the nomination, you ought to state who they are and make your case. My preference is for Ted Cruz, or perhaps Scott Walker, but I would like to see Romney also in the mix as a possible candidate.

Why won’t you explain how your man, who’s biggest challenge was to convince the primary voters that he had honestly switched to being pro-life in 2006 when he started running for president, is going to explain how, after he finally won the nomination, he reverted back to being pro-abortion in 2012 and campaigned on not supporting their pro-life party platform?

Romney is dead in the water, he won a single election in his 20 years of running for office.
