If not a wacko extremist, then how to obtain Party support? Even Rush Limbaugh labeled Romney a flaming liberal. Only a spectaculor politician can reframe a moderate into an extremist conservative. This above discussion demonstrates that Romney did just that. He completely reversed himself on most issues (ie woman's rights, Romneycare, military spending, immigration). And got extremists to believe him.
Are extremists that gullible? What did Romney do to get extremists (ie Adak) to believe Romney was a conservative? What did he do to get Adak ignore the Romney statement that he was more liberal than Ted Kennedy? Either that requires amazing political skills. Or extremists are that easily manipulated by hearsay, myth, and propaganda. Both may apply.
