Looks like you don't read his (Daniel Larison's) blog.
That's not surprising as it's usually a long slow slog.
Anyway, he hates Romney more than I'd have believed it possible for one human being to hate another.
You can see some of that at the end of this post: "In many ways, Romney has a much easier path to the nomination, and he has just reminded everyone why he would be a spectacularly unsuccessful general election candidate."
I suppose Romney probably would be unsuccessful as well, but don't share Larison's contempt for the man, which is in line with his general contempt for Republicans but is much more intense than his dislike of Bush or McCain.
Daniel Larison's coming from some strange paleocon fantasy place -- maybe it's RonPaulLand, I don't know. Anyway, Romney's not his man.
Mitt-hatred isn't confined to loyal Republicans by any means. Larison's feeling that Mitt might be the nominee isn't a sign of his respect for Romney, but of his contempt for most of the Republican Party.
You are correct. I misread him as a Mittbot. He’s a Paulian. My bad.
PS I admit to being something of a Palinut. That said, I would support any true conservative.
