At least some of the Mitt Romney crowd are openly antagonistic as well. Are they middle right or middle? I'm not sure.
Fred will be attacked by everyone who is afraid that he outclasses their chosen candidate. The Rudybots know Fred will annihilate Rudy once he officially joins the race. The Duncanistas know that Duncan's got a lot of problems of his own that they'd like to sweep under the rug, and that once these difficulties start receiving more press, then Fred will look to be the better conservative candidate by comparison. The Mittney Lyin's are ticked that Fred has zoomed past their candidate without having to raise and spend "record amounts of money". And RuPaul supporters will just reflexively attack anyone who doesn't want to roll the calendar back to 1930 so that we can see another Hitler rise without our doing anything about it.
